It's red to me
'Cause I don't know any different that you're proud of me
It's red to me
And I don't know any different
That you're proud of me
(That you're proud of me)
But it's blue to know that I'm free to grow and go
Places you couldn't stay long
Your elegy in song
It's alone to know
Alone because
It's alone to know
Alone because, alone because
It's alone to know
Alone because
‘Cause I don't know any different that you're proud of me
Alone because, alone because
‘Cause I don't know any different that you're proud of me
Alone because
But oh, to know
It's alone to know
Alone because, alone because
It's alone to know
Alone because, alone because
It's alone to know
It's red to me
It's red to me
But it's blue to know that I'm free to grow
No places you couldn't stay long
