Painted Him Perfect

It's hard to say this, and I'm a little embarrassed But you've been asking where my ring is I guess it's time I be honest I gave it four hour drives, fly in for a night Sat through couples therapy, tears in my eyes I'd sing his praises on every stage And he just had to mention he hates the attention I painted pink skies at sunrise to cover all the blue Hide the shaking ground and storm clouds, so you never knew I drew up excuses and said, "That's what love is" The truth is, yeah, the truth is I painted him perfect I painted him perfect I had to break it to my parents And Daddy says we don't do divorces But they got it once I told 'em some stories Do you even remember August 14th? Main stage on the beach, Atlantic City? I was singing, he was causing a scene I'll keep the rest between him and me I painted pink skies at sunrise to cover all the blue Hide the shaking ground and storm clouds, so you never knew I drew up excuses and said, "That's what love is" The truth is, yeah, the truth is I painted him perfect (I painted him) I painted him perfect You could say I missed some red flags But what it comes down to is I was yellow, he was green And all we ever made was blue I painted pink skies at sunrise to cover all the blue Hide the shaking ground and storm clouds, so you never knew I drew up excuses and said, "That's what love is" But that's not what love is I shouldn't have to paint pink skies at sunrise To cover all the blue (to cover all the blue) Hide the shaking ground and storm clouds So you never knew (you never knew, yeah) I drew up excuses and said, "That's what love is" The truth is, yeah, the truth is I painted him perfect I painted him perfect (I painted him), no, no He didn't deserve it (I painted him) But I painted him perfect (I painted him perfect) I painted him (I probably shouldn't have, I shouldn't have to do this) (I painted him, I shouldn't have, I painted out excuses) I painted him (I shouldn't have to paint)
