Paint Fade Songtext
von Smashproof

Hang a picture on the wall of me and you now
So as time passes by, you′ll always be around
I won't let it come down
I won′t let it come down, come down
I won't let the paint fade


Hey Ma, how you doing
I guess your baby boy doing okay
Could be better but you know how it is down here
Same sh*t, just a different day
Still working hard at what you told me to do
And at the rate I'm going, I′mma be there soon
And every other week I dream that you alive
Not a day that go by, I don′t think of you
'Cause you my Queen of Diamonds or a pair of dice
You the reason I am who I am
That is why I am dedicating this to the one I truly miss
Put you on my inner forearm tattoo to remind me
You not far, literally at arm′s reach
A new meaning to wearing my heart on my sleeve
Ma, my angel, Victoria Mary Diamond
Keep shining like one, Son

Hang a picture on the wall of me and you now
So as time passes by, you'll always be around
I won′t let it come down
I won't let it come down, come down
I won′t let the paint fade


Hey fam', how you doing
I know it's been a while, but I held strong
It′s been hard knowing every day when I′m out on the road
That I miss where my life's gone
I hate that I miss the boys′ games on the weekend
And I heard my niece learning how to play the violin
How's Mum and Dad though, they still working hard
I guess it′s fair to say that it's the island blood, the island love
I miss my aunts up in Samoa
Me trying to understand, thinking like I know
I wish I could take you all on the plane too
And travel ′round the world, experience what I'm going through
I'm dedicating this verse as a small token of my appreciation
That you know that I love you, although I′ll hardly ever say it
Without you, there′s no me and all I gotta say is

Hang a picture on the wall of me and you now
So as time passes by, you'll always be around
I won′t let it come down
I won't let it come down, come down
I won′t let the paint fade

Don't let the paint fade, don′t let the paint fade
Don't let the paint fade, don't let the paint fade
Don′t let the paint fade, don′t let the paint fade
Don't let the paint fade, don′t let the paint fade

Hang a picture on the wall of me and you now
Come down, come down
I won't let the paint fade

Yeah, I thought that I′d found everything I was looking for
But the colours that I didn't have was the ones missing on the wall
Until I met you, taking this old frame, making me brand new
Got me feeling over the moon the day we had you
′Cause I knew you were a part of me like my tattoos
And I know now everything happens for a reason
Your mum and dad made it through and it wasn't easy
But that's not, and one day you will grow up and find out for yourself
Or maybe get your heart broken, but just know that life goes on
And I promise that I′mma catch you whenever you fall
And I promise to love you even after I′mma ghost
Mila, the best song that I ever wrote, Dad

Hang a picture on the wall of me and you now
So as time passes by, you'll always be around
I won′t let it come down
I won't let it come down, come down
I won′t let the paint fade

Don't let the paint fade, don′t let the paint fade
Don't let the paint fade, don't let the paint fade
Don′t let the paint fade, don′t let the paint fade
Don't let the paint fade, don′t let the paint fade

Hang a picture on the wall of me and you now
Come down, come down
I won't let the paint fade
