"Paint Me In Gold" lyrics

"Paint Me In Gold"

Don't put me on your pedestal
I don't need that drug you're dealing
The things we know we don't really know
I don't want that empty feeling

I don't know but I know that it's tearing up my soul
Falling short, livin' up to the image that you hold
(Image that you hold)

Don't paint me in gold
Don't colour me white
I'm a good man, but I'm not a saint
Tell me I'm wrong
Truth is I'm right
It's not perfect, but I'm not ashamed

You see one half of my highs and lows
But I know looks can be deceiving
Perfect's not real, it's unattainable
But maybe real is not appealing

I don't know but I know that it's tearing up my soul
Falling short, livin' up to the image that you hold
(Image that you hold)

Don't paint me in gold
Don't colour me white
I'm a good man, but I'm not a saint
Tell me I'm wrong
Truth is I'm right
It's not perfect, but I'm not ashamed
Don't paint me in gold
Don't paint me in gold

Feeling like I'm hollow
I might feel this way tomorrow

Don't paint me in gold
Don't colour me white
I'm a good man, but I'm not a saint
Tell me I'm wrong
Truth is I'm right
It's not perfect, but I'm not ashamed
Don't paint me in gold
Don't paint me in gold
