Paint Them Black

~ Frank Solanki

Now my heart doesn’t feel so weak
Now my head doesn’t feel so wrong
Ever since you’ve left me
Baby I’ve been moving along
Making new friends
Meeting old friends
Now no ends
To my plans
You know how much I loved you
But you didn’t know how to love me back
Well now I’ve had it with you
Take the photos and paint them black
…
Little things you did to me
Little things that put me off
Now I know I feel so free
Baby I’ve just had enough
Writing new songs
Hearing old songs
There’s no wrong
With this song
You know that my love was true
But you didn’t know how to love me back
Now I know just what to do
Take those memories and paint them black
…
Now my heart doesn’t think about you
My head needs to show no care
Girl to you I bid adieu
In love and war all is fair
Forgetting past
Learning fast
Making joy last
Having a blast
You know how much I loved you
You didn’t know how to love me back
Now I know just what to do
Take my love and paint it black

  16. That would make a great song Frank! You should find someone to write a melody for this ( or write the melody yourself). The words have a rhythm and you already have the chorus written.
