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

Oo oh

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

Got to let what we had be what it was

Got to 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
