My Masterpiece

I see life like a canvas

And in my hand is the brush of time

I've been painting without numbers

Playing with the colors

Trying to stay outside the lines

My love runs deep in strokes of bright red

There's crimson from some things I've said

I've been broken into

Had to use a lot of blue

Sometimes my fears are black as night

So I reach for a little more white

And in the end I know I'll find

I'm proud of what I see

Staring back at me

My masterpiece

I hear voices all around me

Trying hard to drown me

Before my work is through

Yeah, they're always second guessing

Questioning my methods

But I alone can see the truth

My love runs deep in strokes of bright red

There's crimson from some things I've said

I've been broken into

Had to use a lot of blue

Sometimes my fears are black as night

So I reach for a little more white

And in the end I know I'll find

I'm proud of what I see

Staring back at me

My masterpiece

When I'm done I won't regret

The way the colors went

Or how they sat

Wrong or right, each choice was mine

And they're all there

In the story of my life

My love runs deep in strokes of bright red

There's crimson from some things I've said

I've been broken into

Had to use a lot of blue

Sometimes my fears are black as night

So I reach for a little more white

And in the end I know I'll find

I'm proud of what I see

Staring back at me

My masterpiece

It's my masterpiece
