Portrait Of An Apology — текст песни (Jars Of Clay)

Look what I`ve done
This picture I`ve painted
It looks like my heart
Or what still remains

Convinced of the weight
Your interpretations
Are not what I see
I wish they could be

I remember it much redder
I remember it much brighter

[Chorus:]

Can you stay for a while
Try to imagine this
Could you be for a while
I can`t remember it
Could you fall for a while
I can`t escape from this

I`ll try to explain
The way that the frame
Doesn`t quite fit the image
Or surround the edge

It stands on display
What do you see?
Behold all the new grey
What`s become of the old me

I remember it much redder
I remember it much brighter

[Chorus]

Calling, crying, ashamed of what I am not
Really failing, falling into this cage and I can`t escape
I can`t escape

Look what I`ve done
This picture I`ve painted
Doesn`t quite fit
Or surround the edge
I remember it much redder

[Chorus]

I can`t escape, I can`t escape, I can`t escape
