Lyrics
V1:
Let's sit and talk for a while
I've got an empty chair to share
Your eyes try to paint a picture
But the paint splatters everywhere
V2:
Say a word if you can hear me
I know your walls are closing in
Maybe we can fix the canvas
That you've broken time and time again
Chorus:
Open up to me
Straighten the lines that bend
Leave those hurtful people
Please come back my friend
Let go of their words
To keep their venom from you
Listen for my voice
It's calling you...
Post-chorus:
Open up to me
No need to draw a line
You don't have to feel this way
Don't be scared this time
V3:
I got a smile out of you
But I know that I can't make it stay
What we did just wasn't enough
We've gotta find another way
V4:
Don't you worry about the time
It's not the boss of you or me
Paint the picture that's overdue
Show me the smiles buried deep in you
Bridge:
It's ok to cry
Let those tears fill your eyes
Give me a sign, give me a clue
I know we'll make it through, make it through...
Chorus 2:
Open up to me
Straighten the lines that bend
Leave those hurtful people
Please come back my friend
Let go of their words
To keep their venom from you
Listen for my voice
It's calling you...
Post-chorus:
Open up to me
No need to draw a line
You don't have to feel this way
Don't be scared this time
Open up to me...
