Her kiss was colder than I remembered
When we first said hello
I guess the flame's now a little lower
I can feel you letting go
You know the paint dries a little darker
Than when you first put it on
I guess your love's like some old cheap magic marker
Said "forever", then it's gone
But you don't have to paint me a picture
You don't have to say a thing at all
You don't have to paint me a picture
I can see the writing on the wall
When we first fell, we fell a long way
Summer nights, and winter days
Mountain sunrise, ocean sunsets
Hand in hand in a haze
Now it's cold, hard summer evenings
And there's clouds on my sunrise
But you don't have to smile and say you're happy
I can see what's in your eyes
And you don't have to paint me a picture
You don't have to say a thing at all
You don't have to paint me a picture
I can see the writing on the wall
Yeah I can see the writing on the wall
