Story Behind The Song
I dated this girl whom i got close to and cared for but had real self esteem issues. She would always ask me where I was, what did I do, who was I with but never seem to really believe the answers. She thought that she was such a bad person with a bad reputation that noone would care about her for real. She was wrong. So I tried to let her know that with this song.

Lyrics
PAINTED EYES
G C F C G
People?People tell me--- that a persons eyes are the windows to their hearts.
G C
They tell whats livin---They tell whats dyin-
F C G
They tell everything that?s been tearin a person apart.
G C F C G
And sometimes, late at night- when your lyin there gently by my side
G C
I can read your thoughts I can read your mind
F C G
But their ain?t no way I can read them painted eyes no no
G
Cuz you hide them well -yeah you cover them well
C
You never let anybody see inside
F C G F C G C
No I can?t read a women with painted eyes - No I can?t read a women with painted eyes
(chorus)
C D
But I know that somewhere, deep down inside
C D
There?s a little girl, that just wants to break down and cry
C D F
And I know. And I know some day those painted eyes
F C G C G C
There gonna shed those tears na na na?and let me inside, let me inside, let me inside
G C F C G
Well I know where you?ve been girl, I can see the cards that life has thrown your way

Cuz I love you baby.
