Postcard of a Painting
[Verse 1]
I'm losing more than I'll ever have
I'm losing more than I'll ever give
I'm losing more than I'll ever have
I'm losing more than I'll ever give to you

[Chorus]
Picture me with you
But you couldn't do it
Everything I said
Was true but I couldn't prove it

[Pre-Chorus]
Your eyes are big when they're so close
Why can't we say goodbye in public?
Your eyes are big when they're so close
Why can't we say goodbye in public?

[Chorus]
Picture me with you
But you couldn't do it
Everything I said
Was true but I couldn't prove it

And I'll admit that there's a web
But it wasn't me who spun it
Now I've made my bed
But you wouldn't lie down in it

[Bridge]
I wrote my feelings down in a rush
I didn't even check the spelling
Enclosed a postcard of a painting
You are just another thing that I have yet to fathom
Oh, you are just another thing I've yet to fathom

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm losing more than I'll ever have
I'm losing more than I'll ever give to you

[Chorus]
Picture me with you
But you couldn't do it
Everything I said
Was true but I couldn't prove it

And I'll admit that there's a web
But it wasn't me who spun it
Now I've made my bed
But you wouldn't lie down in it
