He waltzed right into her heart
Standing tall his smile lit up the dark
The night was cold he gave his shirt
He had morals and values
Cause he grew up in the church

Told her he would wait
He knew just what to say
But that changed the next day
When she gave it away

Her momma said: girl won’t you guard your heart?
And daddy said: baby girl just be smart
When it comes to love it may not last forever
But he painted a picture and it looked so nice
He used all his colors and yeah he shined
He stole her heart and ran just like a traitor
But he looked good on paper

Pretty colors began to bleed
Black eyes became her new reality
Time revealed the truth
He was nothing like she thought she knew

Everything felt wrong
She wanted to be strong
Knew she couldn't stay
So she ran away

Her momma said: girl won’t you guard your heart?
And daddy said: baby girl just be smart
When it comes to love it may not last forever
But he painted a picture and it looked so nice
He used all his colors and yeah he shined
He stole her heart and ran just like a traitor
But he looked good on paper

(Yeah)
He looked good on paper (yeah)
It all looked on good on paper (yeah)

Her momma said: girl won’t you guard your heart?
And daddy said: baby girl just be smart
When it comes to love it may not last forever
But he painted a picture and it looked so nice
He used all his colors and yeah he shined
He stole her heart and ran just like a traitor
But he looked good on paper
