Lyrics
"Colours"
verse 1
So life was all a label,
and each colour had it's place
until the day of reckoning looked me in the face and I
had my favorite colour,
I knew just what it was
it called itself pink and I believed it just because
I had not tasted betrayal till the day
my favorite colour pink faded away
chorus
All I want to know is when the colours swirl around
why they make an upside down shaped heart that's lying on the ground and why
my favorite colour pink had to go and lie to me
saying that's just what it was with me never questioning
as corruption slowly trickled down,
my colour pink turned black and broke my heart-
now swirling colours all around
verse 2
So in life there are colours
and they like to fade away so watch your favorite colour doesn't turn a shade of gray
and I've been through this before, so you can take advice from me
sometimes the colours aren't everything they claim they're going to be
so never let your eyes turn away
watch it doesn't slowly slip and fade away
chorus
all I want to know is when the colours swirl around
why they made an upside down shaped heart that's lying on the ground and why my
favorite colour pink had to go and lie to me
saying that's just what it was with me never questioning
as corruption slowly trickled down
as corruption always trickes down
as corruption slowly trickled down
my colour pink turned black and broke my heart now swirling colours all around
