I know you’re angry, but don’t take it out on me
I didn’t break your heart, I tried to set it free
You don’t know anything about the way to love
You grasp your hate so tight it fits you like a glove

You know all the words to whisper
You have all the moves to match
You share all these pretty pictures
But your heart, it’s painted black

When I first met you, I was lured into your trap
You swept me off my feet, I never did look back
If only I had known about your tragic past
I would have seen my time with you could never last

You know all the words to whisper
You have all the moves to match
You share all these pretty pictures
But your heart, it’s painted black

I followed all your rules, you had me in your spell
I danced with danger, even then I couldn’t tell
And when my back was turned you stabbed me with your lies
Harsh words and jabs exchanged I fought you for my life

You know all the words to whisper
You have all the moves to match
You share all these pretty pictures
But your heart, it’s painted black

Now that it’s over I can say the things I feel
You tricked us all into believing you were real
Beneath that smile was hidden anger and revenge
I’m lucky I survived beyond our bitter end

You knew all the words to whisper
You had all the moves to match
You shared all these pretty pictures
But your heart, was painted black
Your heart is painted black
