Tainted (feat. Jennifer Owens)

Of course I still remember that summer night
I still can see your face light and you're glowing
You took my heart without knowing

But now all I can see are your tearful eyes
You told me that our story was about to die, so you’re going
And since then I'm missing something

All of the pianos I’ve been playing have been out of tune
And all of the guitars sound like garbage too
And all of the rhythms have been slightly out of time

'Cause the music isn’t gone, but it’s tainted
The picture isn’t perfect, but at least it’s painted
At least now we can move, sing our own sad song, and I’ll walk away a strongеr person
'Cause the music isn’t gone, but it’s taintеd

You brought your melody into my life
And I would hear the ways it could harmonize with my own
The sweetest song I have known
But now it seems you’re going down a different path
I thought you knew you were better than that
Were you wrong? Were we out of tune all along?

All of the emotions I’ve been feeling don’t make any sense
And the pages of our story have been torn to shreds
The song that we were singing has become our last duet

'Cause the music isn’t gone, but it’s tainted
The picture isn’t perfect, but at least it’s painted
At least now we can move, sing our own sad song, and I’ll walk away a stronger person
'Cause the music isn’t gone, but it’s tainted

Oh go on and chase your dream, even if it’s without me
Oh

I wish that I could always hold you in my arms
But right now all I have is my own guitar
And I'm trying to keep the music from dying
But maybe the melody was meant to die
So one day a better one can come to life when it’s time
So darling, don’t you cry

'Cause the music isn’t gone, but it’s tainted
The picture isn’t perfect, but at least it’s painted
At least now we can move, sing our own sad song, and I’ll walk away a stronger person
'Cause the music isn’t gone, but it’s tainted
