Dull Lyrics

When I was a child

I dreamed in colours

There were so many

I couldn't keep count

But as I grew up

Well my dreams they got duller

Until there was nothing left only self doubt

For years I tried to find them when I shut my eyes

The golds and the copper reds

The blues and the greens

I searched and obsessed

Yeah it was my vice

But now only blacks and whites make up my dreams

Well alright

I'm a girl who forgot how to shine

Alright

Life's dark but then that's nothing new

I thought I was special but that was a lie

And now I'm a shadow who's lost all her hue

Everyone else glows around me just fine

I try to copy them and mimic their charms

Cuz they all know how to colour inside the lines

But I never mastered that sort of calm

Well alright

I'm a girl who forgot how to shine

Alright

Life's dark but then that's nothing new

I thought I was special but that was a lie

And now I'm a shadow who's lost all her hue

Did my dreams get too big

That they couldn't fit

Or did my mind get too narrow

I wish I could go back to that little girl

Who had so much to dream about

Frankly reality kicked all my hopes out

Well alright

I'm a girl who forgot how to shine

Alright

Life's dark but then that's nothing new

I thought I was special but that was a lie

And now I'm a shadow who's lost all her hue

When I was a child

I dreamed in colour

There were so many

I couldn't keep count

But as I grew up

Well my dreams they got duller

Until there was nothing left only self doubt
