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

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 

And 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 

And 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 

Oh the tools of the trade that chained your memory to me 

Are out the door, I don't paint myself into corners anymore 

I don't paint myself into corners anymore
