Lyrics

She her wears a sign around her heart
That reads "closed for repair."
And I'd been looking all around
Just to find what i found there.
But she let me come right in
And said, "Look around, but I'm warning you,
You won't recognize this place
By the time that I get through."

"I'm gonna knock down every wall brick by brick, day by day,
I'm gonna paint the damn thing blue,
'Cause red is too familiar anyway."

She said, "The color of passion is the last thing I need,
I't got a way of blinding, and you know it always bleeds."
"I need something cold, something deep, something dark,
But I can't lie I'm gonna miss this banged up heart."

"I'm gonna knock down every wall brick by brick, day by day,
I'm gonna paint the damn thing blue,
'Cause red is too familiar anyway."

I never found the words to make her change her mind
But if misery loves company, then maybe it's time,

That I knock down every wall brick by brick, day by day,
Then I'll paint the damn thing blue,
'Cause red is too familiar anyway.
