Paint It Black - Vanessa Carlton
I see a red door
and I want it painted black
No colors anymore
I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed
in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head
until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars
and they are painted black
With flowers and my love both
never to come back
I see people turn their heads
they quickly look away
Like a new born
baby it just happens every day
I look inside myself
and see my heart is black
I see my red door
and it's heading into black
Maybe then I'll fade away
and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up
when your whole world is black
I wanna see it painted painted
painted black oh baby
I wanna see it painted painted
painted black oh baby

No more will my green sea
go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing
happening to you
If I look hard enough
into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me
before the morning comes

I wanna see it painted painted
painted black
Oh black as night black as coal
I wanna see the sun
blotted out from the sky
Painted painted
painted black oh baby
Painted painted
painted black
