enough paint
it ain’t easy pulling the plug
but sometimes
this is what has to be done
she grows cold
no longer involved in what you both
set out to do
& if these things were easy
we could lose all those songs
covered in blue
& if I told you I loved her
that pretty girl
blonde hair sky blue sweet eyes
I hope you’d understand
pulling the plug saying goodbye
was one of the hardest things
I’d ever done
& then she decided I was wrong
set out to kill
threw out all kinds of rotten lies
turning half friends to enemies
poisoning the well
which did nothing to convince me
pulling the plug
was not the right thing to do
& all I could now was wait
see if she had enough paint
turn my world to hell
