I Don't Paint Myself Into Corners Lyrics - Singles - Howard Rebecca Lynn

It took a while for me to see things as they were 

In the light of truth 

It wasn't you,it was me 

I let myself get used to drowning in the hurt 

Against the wall 

Who'd of thought,it was me 

From there I couldn't even look over my shoulder 

I kicked down all the walls and started all over 

And I don't paint myself into corners anymore 

In a brittle heart of clay 

I threw my brushes away 

The tools of the trade that chained your memory to me 

Are out the door 

I don't paint myself into corners anymore 

When you left you left me with no other choice at all 

But to sink 

To my knees,and cry 

I never knew just how far a soul could fall 

Like a rock 

I couldn't stop,didn't try 

I locked myself behind shades of misery 

But when I let you go,I set myself free 

And I don't paint myself into corners anymore 

In a brittle heart of clay 

I threw my brushes away 

The tools of the trade that chained your memory to me 

Are out the door 

I don't paint myself into corners anymore
