Rose Coloured Glasses

I know how this story goes
Front row at all of your shows
But I never thought it would be me

And I thought what we had was love
But I guess I wasn't enough
So I'm rewriting our history

Cause I had already reserved my lasts
And bookmarked all of my nexts
They started and ended with you

But that's what you get when you
Believe the rose coloured glasses
What you get when you let yourself turn a blind eye
They said when someone shows you who they are believe them
But I was never good at that, was I?
No, I chose to believe the lie

I should've thought with my head
But I let you into my bed
More times than I'd like to admit

But how was I supposed to know
Your hands were never alone
Your red lights never unlit

Cause I had already reserved my lasts
And bookmarked all of my nexts
They started and ended with you

Now I'm burning the sheets where you slept
Fixing the mess that you left
All 'cause I hid from the truth

But that's what you get when you
Believe the rose coloured glasses
That's what you get when you let yourself turn a blind eye
They said when someone shows you who they are believe them
But I was never good at that, was I?

That's what you get when you
Believe baby I love you
She never meant a thing to me, look in my eyes
They said when someone shows you who they are believe them
But i was happy living the lie
Oh, I chose to believe

And honestly, I guess congratulations are in order
Still managed to fool someone who knew exactly who you were
1's on you and 2's on me but I lost track of numbers
I hope like me eventually you get what you deserve

But that's what you get when you
Believe the rose coloured glasses
That's what you get when you let yourself turn a blind eye
They said when someone shows you who they are believe them
But I was never good at that, was I?
No, I chose to believe the lie
