Look  what I've done, this picture  I've painted,
It  looks like my heart or what still remains
Convinced  of the wieght your interpretations  are not what I see
 I wish they could be, but...
I  remember  it was much redder,  and...
I  remember  it was much brighter
Can you  stay  for a while?
Try  to imagine this
Could you  be  for a while?
 I can't remember it Could you fall  for  a while,  'cause  I can't escape from
 this
Try  to explain the way the  fame doesn't quite fit the  image
 Or surrounded the edge It stands on display
What  do you see?
Behold  all the new gray.
 What's become of the old me?
'Cause  I remember  it much redder  and...
I  remember  it much brighter
Can  you  stay  for a while
 Try to imagine this could you  be for  a while?
 'Cause I can't remember it?
Could  you fall  for a while,  'cause I can't  escape from this?
Can  you stay  for a while?
Calling,  crying  ashamed  of what  I am not really  falling, falling...
Into  this cage, and I can't  escape
No,  I can't  escape, No I can't
So  look what I've done
Picture  I've painted doesn't  quite fit or surround the edge
But  I remember  it much redder
 Try to imagine this, Could you be  for  a while?
 'Cause I can't remember it
Could  you  fall for  a while
 And I can't escape from this
Can  you stay  for a while?  I can't  escape...
Could  you be  for a while,  for a  while,  for  a while
 I can't, I can't
