Colorblind

Breathe in

Run fingers over scarred skin

Let the guilt rain down all over me

Try to justify my hypocrisy

And breathe out

Watch the words as they fall from your mouth

They sound pretty sharp

And they probably sting

About how I've been distant lately

It's quiet now and you're waiting on me

Could you repeat yourself?

I wasn't listening

Save yourself, I'm not worth the time

This failure is built deep into my design

Is there something wrong with me?

This doubt is deafening

'Cause you were gold but I'm colorblind

Find a reason

Is it the change of season?

Maybe it's just a color I can't see

Or maybe it's not meant for me

Is it all of the above?

See, that's the funny thing about love

It's never been a friend to me

Just an artificial enemy

I've known it's face

But only watched it leave

Save yourself, I'm not worth the time

This failure is built deep into my design

Is there something wrong with me?

This doubt is deafening

'Cause you were gold but I'm colorblind

And this complacency

Just seems to get the best of me

As I wander aimlessly

Back to everything I left behind

A new face, a different story

The same mess of me

And I never learn my lesson 'cause I'm blind

Save yourself, I'm not worth the time

This failure is built deep into my design

Is there something wrong with me?

This doubt is deafening

'Cause you were gold but I'm colorblind
