Guggenheim

[Verse 1]

There was this boy who came to town

Was cooler than the boys in all my crazy dreams

All the problems I thought I had all but disappeared

And he would always, always think of me first

And we were writing the history books and we were so in love

And there was this girl, she used to hang out

I never saw anything, anyone, no one so beautiful

And she would sit around and wait for the day to end

And she would offer herself as if she had nowhere else to go

And I didn't think nothing of it

And that's when my life went cold

And then she was now sleeping in your bed

And she was all over you

And there she was sleeping in my bed

And then there were all these issues

And then there were all these issues

[Chorus]

This time I'm gonna get it right

I'm gonna paint my face like the Guggenheim

This time I'm gonna get it right

I'm gonna paint my face like the Guggenheim

This time I'm gonna get it right

This time I'm gonna get it right

This time I'm gonna get it right

I'm gonna paint my face like the Guggenheim

[Verse 2]

And all the things we used to say and used to do together

And I can't believe that there were such good things between us

And we threw them all away just because this girl

She thought that she had something to say

And all the things that I'm now left with are scarred upon my mind

And I can't believe all these times I used to wait

And I never used to go out and show myself

'Cause I got everything I need

And you need to stop that now

You used to stop me doing what I wanted

And now I can't do it anymore

'Cause I discovered there's something about me

That everybody wants some more

That everybody wants some more

[Chorus]

This time I'm gonna get it right

I'm gonna paint my face like the Guggenheim

This time I'm gonna get it right

I'm gonna paint my face like the Guggenheim

This time I'm gonna get it right

This time I'm gonna get it right

This time I'm gonna get it right

I'm gonna paint my face like the Guggenheim

[Verse 3]

And after all that's said and done

I had to pick myself up and find myself at number one

'Cause this isn't about you anymore

This is all about me

It wasn't your fault that I was living up in a tree

I was waiting for things

I was waiting for things to come to me

We were never in love

And we were never meant to be

All the things that you said

I don't hold you responsible

I needed to get myself together

And that's what I've gone and done

And that's what I've gone and done

And that's what I've gone and done

And now I'm here right now

And my life has just begun

My life has just begun!

[Chorus]

This time I'm gonna get it right

I'm gonna paint my face like the Guggenheim

This time I'm gonna get it right

I'm gonna paint my face like the Guggenheim

This time I'm gonna get it right

This time I'm gonna get it right

This time I'm gonna get it right

I'm gonna paint my face like the Guggenheim
