I could paint you red, like the passion you feelnIt might not be colorful, but at least it'd be realnnAnd I could paint you green, like the envy you know, when you're all alone at nightnWith nowhere to gonnAnd I could paint you grey, to show how you're emptynTo show how you don't carenSo the world can all seennAnd I could paint you clearnI'd make you gracefulnI'd make you beautiful n'Cause that's what you arennAnd I could paint you taupenBecause they say that it's soothingnBut you're like a drug to menThat could use some abusingnnAnd I could paint you goldnTo show you're immortalnWould that make you honest?nWould it make you sincere?nnScarlet and Clover, all the things we talked aboutnViolet and Green and the world in betweennThe grey skies in your blue eyes, broken hearts are all that you knownnI could be clearnYeah you could see through menAnd I could be beautifulnJust to be yoursnnJust to be...nnI could paint you clear,nI'd make you gracefulnI'd make you beautifulnCause that's what you arennAnd I could be clear, and I could be gracefulnI swear I'd be colorful just to be yoursnnIf I were an artist, then I could be yours
