[Verse 1]
I see a red door, and I want it painted black
No colours anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
[Verse 2]
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never coming back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day
[Verse 3]
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and I want it painted black
Maybe then I’ll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not еasy facing up when your whole world is black
[Verse 4]
No more will my green sеa go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes
[Outro]
I wanna see your face painted black, black as night
Don't wanna see the sun flying high in the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
