Picture Perfect Songtext
von Jim Offerman

A ragged piece of linen
I came to you an empty canvas
But you brought out your brush
And started to paint me in color
Where my skin is weak

You never saw the wrong in me
You only see what′s right
And in your painting
You surround me by light
That is brighter than the brightest day
Let me fade away in your light

Go ahead and paint your picture
Of the perfect me
Never mind that the edge of my canvas is


When the edge hides behind the frame
Your picture's quite a sight
So you display it
In our living room
And you show it to everyone
Show what I′ve become
Show your pride

Go ahead and paint your picture
Of the perfect me
Never mind that the edge of my canvas is
Worn to shreds
Those are my loose ends

Oooh-wow-oh-wow-oh

Go ahead and paint your picture
Of the perfect me
Never mind that edge of my canvas is
Worn to shreds
Those are my loose ends
