Trisha Yearwood - I Don't Paint Myself Into Corners lyrics

It took a while for me to see things as they were In the light of truth, it wasn't you, it was me I let myself get used to drownin' in the hurt Against the wall; who'd've thought it was me? From there, I couldn't even look over my shoulder I kicked down all the walls and started all over [Chorus:] And I don't paint myself into corners anymore In a brittle heart of clay I threw my brushes away The tools of the trade That chained your memory to me Are out the door I don't paint myself into corners anymore When you left, you left me with no other choice at all But to sink to my knees and cry I never knew just how far a soul could fall Like a rock, couldn't stop, didn't try I locked myself behind shades of misery, yeah But when I let you go, I set myself free [Repeat chorus] Yeah, the tools of the trade That chained your memory to me Are out the door I don't paint myself into corners anymore I don't paint myself into corners anymore
