Portraits

[Intro]
I woke up in a new home, unsettled and alone
So desperate for a sense of what I want to hear
The happiest of birthdays, avoiding me as always
Child living in naiveté and fear

[Chorus]
She's tearing down the portraits I had drawn
She's planning her attack and I'm her pawn
Crying just in dealing with the fact that she is feeling
That the love we have could easily be wrong

[Verse 1]
My knuckles had stopped bleeding, enough to make repeating
The things that drive me crazy, not worthwhile
And now it's just a matter of watching this world shatter
Over a phone that can't hide a false smile

[Chorus]
She's tearing down the portraits I had drawn
She's planning her attack and I'm her pawn
Crying just in dealing with the fact that she is feeling
That the love we have could easily be wrong

[Verse 2]
No, don't mistake frustration with a lack of everything that's good
Just to reach her, I did everything I could, I could

[Chorus]
She's tearing down the portraits I had drawn (She's tearing)
She's planning her attack and I'm her pawn (She's tearing)
Crying just in dealing with the fact that she is feeling (She's tearing)
That the love we have could easily be wrong (She's tearing)
Yeah, yeah (She's tearing, she's tearing, she's tearing)
