Picture Painted

You see a person
And you paint this picture of them
And then you only see them as this picture you've painted
If someone talks a lot 
But you've painted them as quiet
You'll always continue to see them as quiet
We're too afraid to face the truth
So we go to the lie we've told ourselves
