Portrait Of An Apology Lyrics - Much Afraid - Jars Of Clay

Look what I've done, this picture I've painted 

It looks like my heart or what still remains 

Convinced of the weight 

Your interpretations are not what I see, I wish they could be 

And I remember it much redder 

And I remember it much brighter 

Can you stay for a while? 

Try to imagine this 

Could you be for a while? 

I can't remember it 

Could you fall for a while? 

Yes, I can't escape from this 

Try to explain the way that the frame 

Doesn't quite fit the image or surround the edge 

It stands on display and what do you see? 

Behold all the new gray, what's become of the old me 

'Cause I remember it much redder 

And I remember it much brighter 

Can you stay for a while? 

Try to imagine this 

Could you be for a while? 

Yes, I can't remember it 

Could you fall for a while? 

Yes, I can't escape from this 

Can you stay for a while? 

Calling, crying 

For a while 

Ashamed, what I am not 

For a while 

Really failing, falling 

For a while 

Into this cage and I can't escape 

For a while 

No I can't escape 

For a while 

No I can't 

So look what I've done, the picture I've painted 

Doesn't quite fit or surround the edge 

But I remember it much redder 

Try to imagine this 

Could you be for a while? 

Yes, I can't remember it 

Could you fall for a while? 

I can't escape from this 

Can you stay for a while? 

I can't escape 

Could you be for a while? 

For a while 

For a while 

For a while 

I can't and I can't 

Can you stay for a while? 

Could you be for a while? 

Could you fall for a while? 

I can't, I can't escape 

Can you stay for a while? 

Could you be for a while? 

Could you fall for a while? 

Can you be? 

Could you stay?
