Stay strong for me At least that's what I'll tell her 'Cause someone's gotta be If I could let you in my head You could see what I've been painting, 'cause it's bittersweet Letting go of the brush you've given me We'll hang it up for you When we're back in your Midwest living room A picture point of view while I waited for you Waiting for something to get me through I lived these past two months now Stumbling like a ghost I miss you sleeping next to me naked I'll hang it up for you if we make it White roses hold an angelic hue just like hers Like a kid in the Roaring Twenties He'll save up all week to buy her flowers And I'll hold it all back But please just know that So come back Please just come back I'll bury what I know we're missing And the summer nights we could be living in
