i keep my paintbrush with me
wherever i may go
in case theres need to cover up
so the real me doesn’t show
im so afraid to show myself
afraid of what you’ll do
that you might laugh or say mean things
im afraid i might lose you
id like to remove all my paint coats
to show you the real true me
but i want you to understand
i need you to accept what you see
so if you’ll be patient and close your eyes
i’ll strip off all my coats real slow
please understand how much it hurts
to let the real me show
now my coats are all stripped off
I feel naked bare and cold
and if you still love me with all that you see
you are my friend pure and gold
i need to save my paintbrush though
to hold it in my hand
i want to keep it handy
in case somebody doesn’t understand
please protect me my dear friend
and thanks for loving me true
but please let me keep my paintbrush with me
until i love me too
