perfection

Paint by Numbers
Robbie Gil

i thought i was the love of your life,
but that was only your life with me.
i don't know how i will get through these lonesome nights,
i only know that i'm not ready.
so what'll i do, now that i'm not drinking?
i already miss you.
so i guess this is what i'm thinking...

i'm gonna paint by numbers,
just put one foot in front of the other.
it's gonna hurt like hell, for so long.
i'll go ahead and pretend that i'm alright,
yeah i'll go out and i'll fight the good fight.
the one thing i know for sure is this: that life goes on.
even after you're gone.

i thought if i changed my ways you'd love me again.
now i can see that i was too late.
and only time will tell if we can just be friends.
the only thing i can do is wait.
but i'm not ready for that 'cause i still love you.
and i know for a fact that you're gone but i don't want to.

so i'm gonna paint by numbers,
just put one foot in front of the other.
its gonna hurt like hell, for so long.
i'll go ahead and pretend that i'm alright,
yeah i'll go out and i'll fight the good fight.
the one thing i know for sure is this: that life goes on.
even after you're gone.

yeah, this will be the first time in 10 years, you're not the first to hear my new song.
and i'm a singing this while i hold back the tears, but you should know that i will be strong.
and maybe this is the life i'm supposed to live.
and you cannot take away from me what i'm willing to give.

so i'm gonna paint by numbers,
just put one foot in front of the other.
its gonna hurt like hell, for so long.
i'll go ahead and pretend that i'm alright,
yeah i'll go out and i'll fight the good fight.
the one thing i know for sure is this: that life goes on.
even after you're gone.
life goes on yeah.

life goes on
life goes on
life goes on
after you're gone.
after you're gone.
