And I'm alright
Standing in the streetlights here
Is this meant for me
My time on the outside is over
We don't know how you're spending
All of your days
Knowing that love isn't here
You see the pictures
But you don't know their names no
Cause love isn't here
And I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect
And painted it red
No sympathy
When shouting out is all you know
Behind your lies
I can see the secrets you don't show
We don't know how you're spending
All of your days
Knowing that love isn't here
You see the pictures
But you don't know their names no
Cause love isn't here
And I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect
And painted it red
When, you took something perfect
And painted it red
You take the best things from
Then everything gets empty
That's not a world that I need
Ooh, you take the best things from me
Then everything gets empty
That's not a world that I need
Oh
And I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect
And painted it red
When, you took something perfect
And painted it red
When, you took something perfect and painted it red
You took something perfect
And painted it red
Standing in the streetlights here
Is this meant for me
My time on the outside is over
We don't know how you're spending
All of your days
Knowing that love isn't here
You see the pictures
But you don't know their names no
Cause love isn't here
And I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect
And painted it red
No sympathy
When shouting out is all you know
Behind your lies
I can see the secrets you don't show
We don't know how you're spending
All of your days
Knowing that love isn't here
You see the pictures
But you don't know their names no
Cause love isn't here
And I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect
And painted it red
When, you took something perfect
And painted it red
You take the best things from
Then everything gets empty
That's not a world that I need
Ooh, you take the best things from me
Then everything gets empty
That's not a world that I need
Oh
And I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect
And painted it red
When, you took something perfect
And painted it red
When, you took something perfect and painted it red
You took something perfect
And painted it red

But it's still beautiful that songs, their lyrics- such as poems- can be interpreted differently and have different importance and meanings to everyone based on their life situation.
On the other hand, as a few of you have said, shes suddenly started making problems, being angry at everything, causing fights over the smallest things
i think its about a girl, reading way too much into the actions/sayings of her boyfriend. she's misinterpreted things and created problems that don't actually exist. he's trying to make her believe that nothing is wrong, but she won't listen and he's getting tired of having to fight all the time. she took something that was perfect and painted red by not trusting and believing him.
"I can't do this by myself."I imagine this is the girlfriend saying this about her disorder, needing help.
"All of these problems, they're all in your head."- I think he's saying this in response, she thinks she is flawed or fat when he knows her disorder is making her imagine this.
"You took something perfect and painted it red"- Harming herself when she was fine before, which in turn is ruining their relationship.
"Behind your lies I can see the secrets you don't show."- she was trying to hide her disorder.
I have this girlfriend that I love, she is great is so many ways, while at the same time she is so not well with herself, she is never satisfied of anything for very long, she regrets every decision she makes, she is always putting everything in question, she has no patience or tolerance, especially not for me.
I think the song sums up the result.
Sometime she loves me, sometime she hates me, most of the time she is convinced that she should leave me so she could be with someone else, but she would not, she is certain she will regrets her decision. I'm stuck, I try hard to make her happy, it works most of the time, but then she will turn all the beautiful things we did together into every negative sides she can create out of them.
Still I wont leave her, life would be too boring without her.
