And surely I have learned my lesson    A lesson there was sure to learn    And lessons only make you stronger    So strong that they can burn       And slowly it all fades to nothing    While nothing really fades away    And nothing always leads to something    And something got in my way       I'm painting flowers, I paint for hours,    The end the same    I'm painting flowers, I pain for hours,    I start to feel again       I never really thought it easy    And easy thoughts just never pay    It's easy to be close to someone    And someone came real close today       I'm painting flowers, I paint for hours,    The end the same    I'm painting flowers, I pain for hours,    I start to feel again       Have you ever been in so much pain    That life seems difficult to live    Try and find out simple things to do    And look around       Oh I, I'm painting flowers, I paint for hours    That end the same    Oh I, I'm painting flowers, I pain for hours    I start to feel again
