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 hours 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 them 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
Showed him out with paint
