Rose-Colored Boy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Low-key, no pressure
Just hang with me and my weather
Low-key, no pressure
Just hang with me and my weather
Rose-colored boy
I hear you making all that noise
About the world you want to see
And oh, I'm so annoyed
'Cause I just killed off
What was left of the optimist in me
Hearts are breaking, wars are raging on
And I have taken my glasses off
You got me nervous
I'm right at the end of my rope
A half empty girl
Don't make me laugh, I'll choke
Just let me cry a little bit longer
I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to
Hey, man, we all can't be like you
I wish we were all rose-colored too
My rose-colored boy
Low-key, no pressure
Just hang with me and my weather
And I want you to stop
Insisting that I'm not a lost cause
'Cause I've been through a lot
Really all I've got is just to stay pissed off
If it's all right by you
Hearts are breaking, wars are raging on
And I have taken my glasses off
You got me nervous
When you turned it into a joke
A half empty girl
Don't make me laugh, I'll
Just let me cry a little bit longer
I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to
Hey, man, we all can't be like you
I wish we were all rose-colored too
My rose-colored boy
Leave me here a little bit longer
I think I wanna stay in the car
I don't want anybody seeing me cry now
You say: We gotta look on the bright side
I say: Well, maybe if you wanna go blind
You say my eyes are getting too dark now
But boy, you ain't ever seen my mind
Just let me cry a little bit longer
I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to
Hey, man, we all can't be like you
I wish we were all rose-colored too
My rose-colored boy
Just let me cry a little bit longer
I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to
I know we all can't be like you
I wish we were all rose-colored too
My rose-colored boy
Low-key, no pressure
Just hang with me and my weather
Low-key, no pressure
Just hang with me and my weather
