Yellow To Me Lyrics

I used to write you letters you'd never read

Cause we swore we wouldn't talk anymore

But I couldn't bear the time becoming a distance between us

Now I'm writing this and I'm okay

Just like I longed to be back then

But that doesn't mean

When I pass your street

That I don't feel a pang

The flashbacks to when you were mine

You brought me the sun when there was nothing but rain

Falling down, I can see it in the photographs

You turned the lights back on by just being around

And you will always be yellow to me

Like the cars that we'd spot

Back when we'd go to the park

I walk through there sometimes but it doesn't hurt

I just smile

Promise we'll be alright

We lived in different worlds but for a while

Our paths were perfectly aligned

And we had different dreams, different ways to be

It couldn't last but it did for a while

Oh, and that's always gonna count

You brought me the sun when there was nothing but rain

Falling down, I can see it in the photographs

You turned the lights back on by just being around

And you will always be yellow to me

Like the cars that we'd spot

Back when we'd go to the park

I walk through there sometimes but it doesn't hurt

I just smile

Promise we'll be alright

I thought we'd be friends but we're no exception

To a rule as old as time

Gotta let what we had be what it was

Gotta let the past stay where it belongs

I'll read back your letter, it always makes me feel better

To know I was loved by you

I'm never gonna feel bitter

I'm never gonna look back and regret loving you

You took away my blue

You brought me the sun when there was nothing but rain

Falling down, I can see it in the photographs

You turned the lights back on by just being around

And you will always be yellow to me

Like the cars that we'd spot

Back when we'd go to the park

I walk through there sometimes but it doesn't hurt

I just smile

Promise we'll be alright
