True Colors
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.
I always felt uneasy when we weren't in the same place
Taken back by the feeling that this could all go away
She said: Baby I would never do what those girls do
Funny, I’d only hear that when it benefitted you
Did I get too close?
Didn’t mean to have your true colors exposed
Wait, did you ever take a moment just to think about anyone
Anyone other than yourself?
Give me back the love I wasted now
Cold, one day it's gonna hit you: You’re alone
I won’t be there, won't be there
It's cruel to turn around
Give me back the love I wasted now
It’s your eyes that told me you were in it
All the flags that were red, I told myself they were tinted
Then I noticed that you couldn’t stand the sight of your own shadow
Like the devil on your shoulder, couldn’t stand to wait much longer
Did I get too close?
Didn’t mean to have your true colors exposed
Imperfections start to show, that’s when I wanted you more
Wait, did you ever take a moment just to think about anyone
Anyone other than yourself?
Give me back the love I wasted now
Cold, one day it's gonna hit you: You’re alone
I won’t be there, won't be there
It's cruel to turn around
Give me back the love I wasted now
Give me back the love I wasted now
Now, now!
Wait, did you ever take a moment just to think about anyone
Anyone other than yourself?
Give me back the love I wasted now
Cold, one day it's gonna hit you: You’re alone
I won’t be there, won't be there
It's cruel to turn around
Give me back the love I wasted now!
Now, now!
