Lane Burke & Eliot Hester - Painting Flowers Lyrics

I'm stuck painting flowers
'Cause it's the only thing I know
Every canvas filled with petals
And stems of marigold
Oh I'm stuck with the same lines
In a vase or from the ground
I wish this bleeding heart could
Paint something else
But forever I'll be painting myself
Forever I'll be painting myself

Every Paintbrush does the same
I never stray from home
And the paper knows the game
I'm scared of what I don't know
Will it turn out okay?
Should I take the risk?
Is failure worth all of this?
Ignore the dreams in my head
I'll just stay with flowers instead

So I'm stuck painting flowers
'Cause it's the only thing I know
Every canvas filled with petals
And stems of marigold
Oh I'm stuck with the same lines
In a vase or from the ground
I wish this bleeding heart could
Paint something else
But forever I'll be painting myself
Forever I'll be painting myself

All the beauty
Fades away
With every artwork made
A reflection
Into my mind
Made with blue bells and columbines
I'm caught up with this moment
I feel all alone
I left all these flowers overgrown
I wish I'd look up into the sky
And paint the clouds as they go by

But I'm stuck painting flowers
'Cause it's the only thing I know
Every canvas filled with petals
And stems of marigold
Oh I'm stuck with the same lines
In a vase or from the ground
I wish this bleeding heart could
Paint something else
Oh I'm stuck painting flowers
I know nothing else of art
This primrose has me prisoned
And I'll always play the part
So forever I'll be chasing my heart
Forever I'll be chasing my heart
