shades of us
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Every shade and tone
On our canvas
Bloody, scarlet, bleached grey bones
Will vanish under black
Black
[Chorus]
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
