lyrics

Painted lady wait
I don’t wanna let you go
But you go
If I was complicating things
And you feel you need some room to grow
Well you grow

I held you too close so you won’t fly away
Now upon reflection should have given you space
It’s not what I wanted but I know that it’s right
Hope you won’t be long if I just give you the time

Painted lady wait
I don’t wanna let you go
But you go
If I was misbehaving
I never meant to do you wrong
You wrong

Painted lady wait
Don’t know what’s going on
Something’s on your mind I can feel it

Tell me what you want
It’s been so long since we’ve had fun
But I’m not gonna give up that easily

Painted lady wait
I don’t wanna let you go
But you go
If I was misbehaving
I never meant to do you wrong
You wrong
You wrong yeah

Come my lady
Come come my lady
Where’s my butterfly
I ain’t seen her flutter lately

My mind has turned to chaos
Tell my boys it ain’t a thing
But this butterfly effect
Change my thoughts each change of wind

Turn panic from peace
Stop breathing when I panic
Only see her in my dreams
So I'll pop another Xanax

Painted lady
Painting an image of us
Every time I go to paint
There’s darker colours on my brush but

Night and day
I’m fighting for lighter shade
I know that this too shall pass
But I don’t know if I can wait

What coulda been
That’s something to dwell alone
So I’ll open up this cage
If you love something let it go

Say you never left me and we keep it moving on
Say that I was right for you when we both know that’s wrong
Say we last forever but we know that’s just too long
Painted lady
Oh painted lady

Say you never left me and we keep it moving on
Say that I was right for you when we both know that’s wrong
Say we last forever but we know that’s just too long
Painted lady
Oh painted lady
Oh painted lady yeah
Painted lady
My painted lady yeah
Painted lady
I'm coming back for you
My painted
My painted lady yeah
My painted lady yeah
