Paint Me a Heart Lyrics

Words & Music by Ala Ghawas

Hey love, you’re drowning in your colors
Don’t you wanna have some rest?
You’re searching for yourself in me,
I know that, don’t resist

Hey love, I spent years on your bench
Can’t you feel my weary chest?
I’m tired of loving you
I’m tired of showing you my best

Because I’m burning in a gone down deal
Yearning for your art to heal
Faking what I feel
Paint me a heart right now for real

Hey love, stop drawing my face
It’s growing ugly and old
Dig my heart
Don’t judge me from your painting board

So paint me a heart,
though I know it’s gonna be fake
Paint me a heart, for someone else to break
(you never loved me anyway)
Paint me a heart, with any color,
any shape, any heartbeat rate

Because I’m burning in a gone down deal
Yearning for your art to heal
Faking what I feel
Paint me a heart right now for real

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
