[Verse 1]
Lonely days and lonely nights are waiting for me
But I gotta leave
From the day rise up until the night falls down
I'm losing myself
So I can't stay around

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm still the girl that you met
You called me perfect then
But now you're changing
I'm not good enough anymore
So I did it for us
I wanted to keep your love
You tried to mold me
And I hoped that I'd please you more

[Chorus]
You want me to be what you want me to be
But you can't paint me over
You tried to paint me over
I tried my best to be your everything
But you can't paint me over
You tried to paint me over

[Verse 2]
I close my eyes and memorize the girl that I was
Before there was us
Hard to remember, it's been so long since she's been around
I gave up myself
And still I let you down
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm still the girl that you met
You called me perfect then
But now you're changing
I'm not good enough anymore
So I did it for us
I wanted to keep your love
You tried to mold me
And I wished that I pleased you more

[Chorus]
You want me to be what you want me to be
But you can't paint me over
You tried to paint me over
I tried my best to be your everything
But you can't paint me over
You tried to paint me over

[Bridge]
I must have fought for your heart (At least I've tried to)
If it was mine from the start
Your love's conditional
Mine, I let you have for free
You had a price to your love
And gladly, I gave it up
And now there's nothing left
Because I let you change all of me
[Chorus]
You want me to be what you want me to be
But you can't paint me over
You tried to paint me over (Oh, tried to paint me over)
I tried my best to be your everything (Tried my best to be)
But you can't paint me over (Hey)
You tried to paint me over (Uh-ah-ah, ah-ah, uh-ah-ah, ah-ah)
