Canvas from Sleeping Mind by Leigham Fitzpatrick

All you needed was a friend
and now you've got a lover
Well I'm sorry I don't work that way
perhaps you should find another
Yes, all you needed was a friend
and now you've got a lover
Well I'm sorry I don't work that way
perhaps you should find another

But I am your canvas
You paint red tape over me
Yes I am your canvas
Aren't you scared that they'll see?

One day you'll walk by
and I won't be here
I'll run away, away I'll stay
doesn't that seem fair
Cause you, you scare me
you make it hard to breath
And I, I am a bird
I need to fly free

But I am your canvas
You paint red tape over me
Yes I am your canvas
Oh, aren't you scared that they'll see?

So unless you're gonna clip my wings
then open the door wide
And don't tell me that you love me
'cause I'll only run and hide
Oh don't tell me that you love me
'cause I'll only run and hide
No don't tell me that you love me
'cause I'll only run and hide

But I am your canvas
You paint red tape over me
Yes I am your canvas
Oh, aren't you scared that they'll see
Oh, aren't you scared that they'll see
Oh, aren't you scared that they'll see?
