Hey darlin’, you paint a pretty picture
The sun is clouded
(Yeah, yeah)
But we’ll find our way home
Yes, we’ll find our way home
Casting shadows on the pavement
Dancing toe to toe, is this all you are?
Is this all you hope to be?
Oh no, it’s just all that I know
Is it enough? Are you happy?
Do you need more?
You had my heart
(Get what you want then walk away)
What more could you want?
Don’t you care? Don’t you care enough to let me go?
You know that it meant everything
Now everything feels far too wrong
Little girl, listen well
But you must promise that you’ll never ever tell
I speak like fire, and it burns your ears
Who will wipe away your tears?
You had my heart
(Get what you want then walk away)
What more could you want?
Don’t you care? Don’t you care enough to let me go?
You know that it meant everything
Now everything feels far too wrong
If only you had words to make this sadness I feel go away
If only you had words to make this sadness I feel go away
You had my heart
What more could you want?
(What more could you want)
Don’t you care? Don’t you care enough to let me go?
You know that it meant everything
Now everything feels far too wrong
Hey darlin’, you paint a pretty picture
The sun is clouded
We’ll find our way home
Yes, we’ll find our way home
