Colors

Disappointment rears its ugly head

And we warm up to just being friends

Tell me how exactly it’s done

When none of the things I do

Can get me any closer to you

And it was the girl in the yellow dress

That caused you distress

And it was the girl the blue was for

That made it sting a little more

And it was the girl with red hair

That always seemed to be there

But it was the girl with green eyes

That truly took me by surprise

He who cries in the shower

Will never shed a tear

Drowned out in the water

Are his sorrows from last year

And she who tries to escape

Will never get away

Burned out without fire

Are her loves from yesterday

And it was the girl in the yellow dress

That caused you distress

And it was the girl the blue was for

That made it sting a little more

And it was the girl with red hair

That always seemed to be there

But it was the girl with green eyes

That had me watching the skies

Watching for another angel to fall

If it was possible once could it happen again?

Waiting for these demons to simply dissolve

If I stole her away would I be happy then?

Can I be commended for the things I try to do?

Can the words I don’t say get a pat on the back too?

Why do the colors in my head

Keep fading to an image of you?

And it was the girl in the yellow dress

That was surely a mess

And it was the girl the blue was for

That never would have loved me more

And it was the girl with red hair

That while there, never cared

But it was the girl with green eyes so

That I wish never had to go…
