Faintest smell of perfume, and coffee in the air
Dust hangin up, in the sun rise glare
In a bathrobe in the kitchen, her eyes soft and dry
Never leave the cup, she's been holding through the night
And she says
This is gonna take some effort, and a second coat of paint
It's gonna take some tears, and the patience of a saint
It's gonna be a patchwork, cause you just can't erase
The pain underneath, it ain't gonna go away
It's gonna take a lifetime; the colors, you can change
You can cover up what's done, but it'll never be the same
A little boy's hands, held by his mom's
A little boy's arms, poked full of holes
She whispers in his ear, as the beep starts to slow
Me and dad'll be okay, we know it's your time to go
This is gonna take some effort, and a second coat of paint
It's gonna take some tears, and the patience of a saint
It's gonna be a patchwork, cause you just can't erase
The pain underneath, it ain't gonna go away
It's gonna take a lifetime; the colors, you can change
You can cover up what's done, but it'll never be the same
Thirty turns later, thorns on a rose
Draw blood from my hand, next to this hole
Dark red petals, twist into the earth
And faint in the ether, I can hear her words
.nd she says
It took a lot of effort, and so many coats of paint
It took a lot of tears, and the patience of a saint
Life is a patchwork, cause you just can't erase
The pain underneath, it never went away
In the end, every lifetime, ends in a grave
You can fill in the hole, but it'll never be the same
