lyrics

You spend hours and hours on end
Putting all your love into them
But I'm forgotten like a study in pen

I wish I were one of your painted portrait girls
Maybe I could be a still life work
I promise then I wouldn't speak a single word
And just for you, I could be seen and not heard

You could clean up my smudges with time
Define my shape, sketch new lines
You could soften my contours and pride

So, I could be one of your painted portrait girls
Maybe I could be a still life work
I promise then I wouldn't speak a single word
And just for you, I could be seen and not heard

I'd be immortalized under glaze
Dynamic pose, expressive face
You'd never want to look away
And I could live on in your lines and swirls
And I'd be a part of your world

So, can I be one of your painted portrait girls?
Maybe I could be a still life work
I promise then I wouldn't speak a single word
And just for you, I could be seen and not heard
