Roberts Julie - Paint And Pillows lyrics

From concrete to shingles and every single

Nail we drove to hold this house together

That stained glass door, those hardwood floors

Cost a little more but they made this place better

I ain't nineteen, I ain't naive

That ain't the way I make my bed

I can't believe you're telling me

This all can be repaired

Chorus:

It's gonna take more than paint and pillows

New curtains on these windows

To cover up all the trash that you drug in

There ain't a rug big enough to sweep it under

And just in case you wonder

I'd rather strike a match and watch it go up in smoke

It's gonna take more than paint and pillows

You know these walls don't have to talk

I knew it all- intuition, I guess

That long dark hair on the back of my chair

Must be where she put her shoes on before she left

Everything she touched belonged to me

And I don't want no tainted anything

The life we built baby you killed in just one night

Repeat Chorus Twice
