shades of us

You're all I want, couldn't face it I wish you would've let me go Your shades of blue left me painted Violet and indigo True colors shown Drew me to your light and all my flaws illuminate Searching for my love when you discovered things you hate And I acted like it's nothing, yeah, like everything was fine But it only takes a word from you to change my mind All I can recall still makes me slowly start to choke I know I should have listened, but instead I only spoke I was the blind turn in your learning curve No one gets what they deserve You're all I want, couldn't face it I wish you would have let me go Your shades of blue left me painted Violet and indigo I got so close, I could taste it A moment from the killing blow I'm all you want, couldn't take it When finally the colors showed Left on your own Burning crimson red, I was a moth into your flame It's all just in our nature, I know neither one's to blame 'Cause the deer escapes the hunter as it's stepping off a cliff Every moment was a chase and it has led us right to this Violent And we treat it like a game Don't deny it Found a thrill in causing pain But I looked into your eyes and I lost my nerve No one gets what they deserve You're all I want, couldn't face it I wish you would have let me go Your shades of blue left me painted Violet and indigo I got so close, I could taste it A moment from the killing blow I'm all you want, couldn't take it When finally the colors showed Left on your own Every shade and tone On our canvas Bloody, scarlet, bleached grey bones Will vanish under black Black You're all I want, couldn't face it I wish you would have let me go Your shades of blue left me painted Violet and indigo I got so close, I could taste it A moment from the killing blow I'm all you want, couldn't take it When finally the colors showed Left on your own
