You drew a picture of a perfect life
You promised you would be my loving wife
But all the colors that you used were fake
Another promise that you had to break
You used a canvas made of little lies
You hid the truth behind your angel eyes
And when the rain came pouring from above
It washed away the masterpiece of love
You gave me painted skies and paper moons
Playing your games in empty afternoons
A masterpiece of deception and art
Framing the ruins of my broken heart
Oh, painted skies of artificial blue
I was a fool for ever trusting you
The gallery is closed and locked away
And there is nothing left for us to say
The gallery of broken promises
A million temporary lonely kisses
You took your brush and painted me a fool
Breaking every single golden rule
You used a canvas made of little lies
You hid the truth behind your angel eyes
And when the rain came pouring from above
It washed away the masterpiece of love
You gave me painted skies and paper moons
Playing your games in empty afternoons
A masterpiece of deception and art
Framing the ruins of my broken heart
Oh, painted skies of artificial blue
I was a fool for ever trusting you
The gallery is closed and locked away
And there is nothing left for us to say
Paper moons
Artificial blue
