I Don`t Paint Myself Into Corners — текст песни (Trisha Yearwood)

(Rebecca Lynn Howard/Trey Bruce)

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

The tools of the trade that chained your memory to me
Are out the door
I don`t paint myself into corners anymore
