Paint It Black Lyrics

Paint It Black

I see a red door



And I want to paint it black 



No colours anymore 



I want them to turn black 



I see a line of cars 



And they are painted black 



They pass me by with one 



Who's never coming back 



I look inside myself 



And see my heart is black 



I see a red door



And I have to have it black 



Maybe I'll fade away 



And not have to face the fact 



That it's not easy 



When your whole world's turning black 



Paint it black 



My world's black 



If we look hard enough 



Into the setting sun 



These things will last with me 



Before the morning comes 



I see them walking by 



All dressed up in their clothes 



I have to turn away 



Until my blackness goes 



Paint it black 



My world's black 



Paint it black 



It's all black
