Painted By Numbers
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.
Could I act like you, and put a smile on my face
Not even for a second, would I lie to myself
Too many things are missing, there's a tear in my eye
It's not a question or an answer, but it will change your mind
We'll be the same tomorrow, cause we've all been painted by numbers
We're dancing as we borrow, you said it was love, I said I'd like you to be mine
Nanana nanananana nanananana nanana naa
I couldn't act like you, but I can love like you do
Between us there is something, I can't explain it to you
We'll be the same tomorrow, cause we've all been painted by numbers
We're dancing as we borrow, you said it was love, I got what I need to get by
We'll be the same tomorrow, cause we've all been painted by numbers
We're dancing as we borrow, you said it was love, I said I'd like you to be mine
Nanana nanananana nanananana nanana naa
We'll be the same tomorrow, cause we've all been painted by numbers
We're dancing as we borrow
I'll sing a song for sorrow, cause we've all been painted by numbers
We're dancing as we borrow, you said it was love, I got what I need to get by
