Lyrics
Colorful
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.
The show is over, close the storybook
There will be no encore
And all the random hands that I have shook
Will be reaching for the door
I watch their backs as they leave single file
But you stood stubborn, cheering all the while
CHORUS
I know I can be colorful,
I know I can be grey,
And I know this loser's living fortunate
Cause I know you will love me either way.
Most were being good for goodness sake
But you wouldn't pantomime.
You are more beautiful when you awake
Than most are in a lifetime
Through the haze that is my memory
When you stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy
CHORUS
Hold your head as far as you can see
We're living drama but we'll die in a comedy
CHORUS (x2)
And I know you will love me
Yes I know you will love me
Yes I know you will love me either way..
