Rose-Coloured Glasses Lyrics

Faded pictures in your mind

Of the world that you built for yourself and the one who held you at the time

He was bright and always kind

You swore he read your mind

So when he finally showed his true colors

You couldn't see the flag was red

And the love was dead

So you learned

Looking back everything seemed black and white, but now

There's so much grey to fill in the spaces between the lines

Cause you wore rose-colored glasses to hide the things bout him you couldn't erase

While he just fooled you for another day

Tired of holding yourself back, but

I know he was the one who was holding you down when your feet were already off of the ground

In the rear-view mirror everything seems clearer

I know how hard it is to even see your future

But pick yourself up and go

I know it's hard to see the flag was red

And your love was dead

But you learned

Looking back everything seemed black and white, but now

There's so much grey to fill in the spaces between the lines

Cause you wore rose-colored glasses to hide the things bout him you couldn't erase

While he just fooled you for another day

Don't think about what you lost

Cause this was never your fault

How were you supposed to know

When he played the role so well

Looking back everything seemed black and white, but now

There's so much grey to fill in the spaces between the lines

Cause you wore rose-colored glasses to hide the things bout him you couldn't erase

While he just fooled you for another day
