you're not the canvas (lyrics)

well I heard what you had to say 

and for a moment it wasn't okay 

darling you think you're special

well maybe that is true 

but that doesn't mean 

I want anything more with you

(chorus) 

don't flatter yourself

you aren't the canvas 

just merely the paint 

got more on the palette 

wanna use your color

without complaint 

I can't help that you're easy to use

you've got shades of reds and of blues

I haven't seen not one shade of grey

it isn't for spite this is for play

a play on your words you chose to share first

I know I'm the pink in those paintings you versed

(chorus) 

isn't that what hurts  

each painting a reflection

with each other's 

true colors that we can't see? 

I see the best in you 

and you see the light in me?
