Lyrics
The Artist
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If something in the past can teach me, I’ll look back to find it
I swear I’ll feel brave someday, just not yet
My heart stopped
I’ve been cutting ties with emotion
I’ve been trying to get by without devotion
Without devotion
I didn't want to feel or smile or better yet
Didn't want to have to learn to feel things again
What can I leave behind that'll never fade?
Where can I place my pride? Where can I place my pride?
Where will I find something that feels sincere?
That feels sincere
For every dream that I’m still trying to fill
I’ve had to let go of countless more
How do I know which ones to keep?
How do I know if it’s not too late?
Why now?
I used to dream of being an artist
The world needed paint as bright as my visions
But love never shows its true colors
The world reflected black so I painted myself
