Watercolors Lyrics

Praying that the pain stops
Counting all the tear drops
Falling on your pillow

Guess he hit a weak spot
Heard it was a cheap shot
Hate to say, "I told you so"

Yeah, it's a joke
How many hits till your sweet bones finally break?
And how many nights all alone it is going to take?

He's got a hold of your heart now baby
And you don't even know
He's got a hold of your heart now baby
That's why I have to let you go
That's why I have to let you go

Told me that you're alright
I can see you're not quite
The girl you were before

Will it take a landslide
To help you decide
There's nothing left anymore?

Yeah, it's a joke
How many hits till your sweet bones finally break?
And how many nights all alone it is going to take?

Well, I guess I oughta back down,
I thought you would come around
Guess I oughta back down,
Cause you are nowhere to be found

This is what you wanted now
So is this how you pictured it?
This is what you wanted now
The two can be so different

He's got a hold of your heart now baby
And you don't even know
He's got a hold of your heart now baby
And you don't even know
He's got a hold of your heart now baby
That's why I have to let you go
That's why I have to let you go
He's got a hold of your heart now baby
And you don't even know
He's got a hold of your heart now baby
That's why I have to let you go
That's why I have to let you go

Gotta let you go
I gotta let you go

Cover art for Watercolors lyrics by Swimming With Dolphins

The singer is talking about a girl that he has feelings for, but she has a boyfriend who is a huge jerk and treats her badly, and she puts up with it. The song mentions the girl crying and being put through a bunch of crap. He says she "isn't the same" which means she has gotten so wrapped up in this guy, that she is changing herself for him instead of being herself, like she used to be. The singer says he has to "let her go", so he's saying he has to drop all the feelings he has for her and move on with his life, instead of waiting around for her to ditch her boyfriend.
