Amy Nelson - How Do You Paint an Old Fence Lyrics

You don't ever ask me
How my day has gone
You don't ever tell me
To put on my favorite song
Seems you don't like anything
I ever try to do
Cause' you're always trying to make me more like you

When I was a single girl
I tried hard to be brave
I thought by being a single girl
That I'd find a early grave
Now that I've departed from my usual way
I am judged for the things I do
And the things that I say

How do you paint an old fence
How do you rope a calf
How do you keep on married
If it ain't half and half
How can you keep coming home
Like it's some sort of bet
I'm hiding that I'm mad at you
My cheeks are soaking wet

You're always coming like you've had the harder day
One of these days you'll come on home
And I'll have walked away
Loving you ain't easy
No, Loving you's an art
One day you'll wake up all alone
Instead of tearing me apart

You're always talking at me
Instead of talking to
Spoiled my hazel eyes
And turned them into blue
Now I tiptoe everywhere like I'm some sort of mouse
I could fill the air with footsteps
It's still an empty house

So how do you paint an old fence
How do you rope a calf
How do you keep on married
If it ain't half and half
How can you keep rising with a heart that's growing sore
And how do you tell the one you love
You don't love them anymore

How do you paint an old fence
How do you rope a calf
How do you keep on married
If it ain't half and half
How come you keep coming home
Like it's some sort dare
I'd tell you how I really feel
But you don't seem to care
I'd tell you how I really feel
But you don't seem to care
I'd tell you how I really feel
But you still don't seem to care
