Paint And Pillows Lyrics

by Julie Roberts

From concrete to shingles and every single
Nail we drove to hold this house together
That stained glass door, those hardwood floors
Cost a little more but they made this place better

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e60372-julie_roberts~paint_and_pillows_lyrics.html ]
I ain't nineteen, I ain't naive
That ain't the way I make my bed
I can't believe you're telling me
This all can be repaired

Chorus:
It's gonna take more than paint and pillows
New curtains on these windows
To cover up all the trash that you drug in
There ain't a rug big enough to sweep it under
And just in case you wonder
I'd rather strike a match and watch it go up in smoke
It's gonna take more than paint and pillows

You know these walls don't have to talk
I knew it all- intuition, I guess
That long dark hair on the back of my chair
Must be where she put her shoes on before she left

Everything she touched belonged to me
And I don't want no tainted anything
The life we built baby you killed in just one night

Repeat Chorus Twice
