[Verse 1]
Pour a little burgundy so I can paint my masterpiece
With every other brush I see you smiling at me
From blue period to rose period we erase, we forget
The femme fatales and their broken lovers
[Chorus 1]
In the dark night, the others sleep and you escape
[Verse 2]
The painting is left undone
Your perfume in the air, a glass half empty
[Chorus 2]
Whatever it takes, I draw the lines of your mouth orange
Your blond hair and dark eyes
Whatever it takes I'll wait for your return my angel
You were my muse and so much more
[Bridge]
From our senseless adventure
All I have left is a canvas
I remember our last words
That left a shadow in the painting
[Chorus 3]
Day by day I'm painting the pain away
I'm almost done with your portrait
Whatever it takes
Your return
Almost done with your portrait
