Painted Him Perfect

It's hard to say this, and I'm a little embarrassed

But you've been asking where my ring is

I guess it's time I be honest

I gave it four hour drives, fly in for a night

Sat through couples therapy, tears in my eyes

I'd sing his praises on every stage

And he just had to mention he hates the attention

I painted pink skies at sunrise to cover all the blue

Hide the shaking ground and storm clouds, so you never knew

I drew up excuses and said, "That's what love is"

The truth is, yeah, the truth is

I painted him perfect

I painted him perfect

I had to break it to my parents

And Daddy says we don't do divorces

But they got it once I told 'em some stories

Do you even remember August 14th?

Main stage on the beach, Atlantic City?

I was singing, he was causing a scene

I'll keep the rest between him and me

I painted pink skies at sunrise to cover all the blue

Hide the shaking ground and storm clouds, so you never knew

I drew up excuses and said, "That's what love is"

The truth is, yeah, the truth is

I painted him perfect (I painted him)

I painted him perfect

You could say I missed some red flags

But what it comes down to is

I was yellow, he was green

And all we ever made was blue

I painted pink skies at sunrise to cover all the blue

Hide the shaking ground and storm clouds, so you never knew

I drew up excuses and said, "That's what love is"

But that's not what love is

I shouldn't have to paint pink skies at sunrise

To cover all the blue (to cover all the blue)

Hide the shaking ground and storm clouds

So you never knew (you never knew, yeah)

I drew up excuses and said, "That's what love is"

The truth is, yeah, the truth is

I painted him perfect

I painted him perfect (I painted him), no, no

He didn't deserve it (I painted him)

But I painted him perfect (I painted him perfect)
