Portrait Of A Man Lyrics

Eleventeen Portrait Of A Man

Paint a picture of me and hang it in your fireplace

The flames will consume my face 

Now watch me burn 

 

Choke down that fresh-lit match with sympathy 

Wear a different face with me 

Then we can pretend that we can get back up again 

 

Save your self 

Save your self 

Save your self from me 

 

And say anything just make it brave cause if we don't act now we can never be the same as we use to be 

I'll say anything just to make you brave cause if we don't act now we can never be the same as we use to be 

 

I probably look a little different when I'm broken I hide this well 

I'm sure that some can tell 

So Ill keep on running with this limp you will never see

I built this noose with shaky hands and I will wear it without regret 

Just don't forget the love that I gave with this thorn buried deep in me

 

He built this noose you bet he's going to use it 

Now I can see our love is changing I can see that its changing from the heart
