I've Painted Roses
I've painted roses on ripped canvas
but the thorns of the rose
just ripped it more.
I've painted roses on ripped canvas
claiming it was art
when it just covered abuse
I've painted roses on ripped canvas
and then just tore it apart
I cant fix this, just start over
I've painted roses on new canvas
and I felt empty.
A change of canvas hasn't changed me.

There's a metaphor in here somewhere about love, past abuse, and trying to move on when you're in a better situation.
