The Artist (song lyrics)

Verse 1:
She has suffered through hardships
Her scars tell her tale
Each one is a painting
Upon skin that's turned pale
See the heartache and illness
All she lost on display
She's a canvas of memories
But this exhibit can't stay

Chorus:
Oh,life seems hardest
Through the eyes of an artist

Verse2:
She painted her sorrows
In reds, blacks, and blues
All her feelings were poured out
Into each cut and bruise
She washed all her brushes
In bottled-up tears
Never content with her artwork
Because the image still disappears

(Chorus)

Bridge:
There was a girl with a dream
To paint a brillant masterpiece that would earn fame and esteem
But when this blind world ridiculed and laughed
she ripped her sketch book in half

Verse 3:
She once painted on paper
Now she paints on her skin
The colors are dulling
As her will to live runs thin
There's a chance still to save her
See the world from her view
And appreciate the beauty
In the pictures she once drew

Chorus:
To see where her heart is
You must look through the eyes of an artist
