Rachael Sage - Painting of a Painting Lyrics

Did you know that I left someone else to be with you?
I kept it a secret for the longest time
He was young and was beautiful, was cynical like you
But he was not as accessible, I moved and he withdrew
Withdrew into nothingness and made me feel ashamed
He made me feel as if I was nothing

But you came along, came a long, long way to see me
Fell out of the sky, stood upright and said your name
And I’d almost let go of the idea of solace till you
Stood in the slow rain
Like a painting of a painting

Did you know that I gave my breath up to be with you?
I kept it a secret for the longest time
I held myself tightly so no air would escape
My heart was always hovering between my fear and faith
‘Cause you never know when you’re gonna run out of oxygen
Like I’m feeling right now inside strong arms

But you came along, came a long, long way to see me
Fell out of the sky, stood upright and said your name
And I’d almost let go of the idea of solace till you
Stood in the slow rain
Like a painting of a painting

I was frozen when you came and found me
I was shaking like a falling leaf
I was hoping that you would astound me
Now I’m aching with the sweet relief
I am stronger than you ever noticed
Stronger than you realized...I am
Burning with the prize of freedom
Begging me to never compromise

But you came along, came a long long way to see me
Fell out of the sky, stood upright and said your name
And I’d almost let go of the idea of solace till you
Stood in the slow rain
Like a painting of a painting

I was frozen when you came and found me
I was shaking like a falling leaf
I was hoping that you would astound me
Now I’m aching with the sweet relief
I am stronger than you ever noticed
I am stronger than you realized
I am burning with the prize of freedom
Begging me to never compromise
