Colourblind

I'm sorry girl, this ain't right 'cause love's not in my design
Maybe, baby, this will work, not tonight, another time
Now, I'll lie, say I'm fine and cry to these ivory lines
Her love was beautifully artistic but I'm still colourblind
If you leave, don't say goodbye, baby it's alright
Everybody will find somebody and I'll find the afterlife
So drop a match inside my heart to warm the places that's frozen
You're the masterpiece and I'm the mirror that's broken

I hope you don't think that I see all this as a ruse
Between the low lights and booze, you're the greatest of views
So now I'll try to be everything that you need
I'm terrified I'll fail again, that's what's expected of me
But try to paint this pain, it always comes out grey
You're too beautiful for me to hurt so baby run away
Please stay, I lied, I can't make up my mind
I wanna' show you that people in this world are still kind
So I'll fall now faster than gravity could be
You're an angel, fly quick 'cause they're closing on me
And I can see the Devil laughing 'cause they're waiting on Fe
I don't wanna' burn forever, save the pieces of me in your heart
After mine won't start
These chest compressions are starting to hurt
Because they've went too long
I'm too far gone
Sing the hook now, baby, and I'll follow along

I'm sorry girl, this ain't right 'cause love's not in my design
Maybe, baby, this will work, not tonight, another time
Now, I'll lie, say I'm fine and cry to these ivory lines
Her love was beautifully artistic but I'm still colourblind
If you leave, don't say goodbye, baby it's alright
Everybody will find somebody and I'll find the afterlife
So drop a match inside my heart to warm the places that's frozen
You're the masterpiece and I'm the mirror that's broken

I woke up, thinking "My, what a dream"
And got dressed, preparing for the end that I've seen
And you dm'ed me, the 808's the sound of my heartbeat
Come to find out, nobody even knows me
So, let's get going, baby - pack your bags
Rock bottom's where we're leaving and we're not coming back
I have a destiny to die, paint the Cadillac black
Chemically, I'm now alive to revive your will to attack
If you're in this crowd, lemme' hear you sing loudly
I'm on this stage but this isn't about me
You all survived so you better scream proudly
I love you all, you're part of this family

I'm sorry girl, this ain't right 'cause love's not in my design
Maybe, baby, this will work, not tonight, another time
Now, I'll lie, say I'm fine and cry to these ivory lines
Her love was beautifully artistic but I'm still colourblind
If you leave, don't say goodbye, baby it's alright
Everybody will find somebody and I'll find the afterlife
So drop a match inside my heart to warm the places that's frozen
You're the masterpiece and I'm the mirror that's broken
