Paint It Black
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls go by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
Dead flowers and the loved one never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby; it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and want it painted black
If I try hard enough I won't have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look long enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as coal, black as night
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black now
