Paint It Black

I see a rental and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them turned to black
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back

I see the girls walk by dressed in summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I've seen people turn their heads and quickly look away
I can't live on, baby, it just happens every day

I look inside myself and see my hair is black
I see my rental, I must have it painted black
No more will my green sing and turn a deeper blue
A cold heart for resisting happening to you

Maybe there's a better way, I know I have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I want to see it painted
I want to see it painted, painted black
I want to see it painted
I want to see it painted, painted black
