Colour Me In

I tried to repress it
Then I carried its crown
I reached out to undress it
And love let me down
Love let me down
So I tried to erase it
But the ink bled right through
Almost drove myself crazy
When these words led to you
And all these useless dreams of living alone
Like a dogless bone
So come let me love you
Come let me love you
And then colour me in
Well I tried to control it
And cover it up
I reached out to console it
It was never enough
Never enough
So I tried to forget it
That was all part of the show
Told myself I'd regret it
But what do I know?
About all these useless dreams of living alone
Like a dogless bone
So come let me love you
Come let me love you
And then colour me in
Come, let me love you
Come, let me take this through the end
Of all these useless dreams of living
In all these useless dreams
All these useless dreams of living
In all these old noes
Come let me love you
Come let me love you
Come let me love you
Come let me
