Rose-Colored Shades

I'm walking down this empty street
The silence echoes with my heartbeat
I put on my rose-colored shades
But they can't hide the pain
They can't evade

And still I search for something true
But all I find is shades of blue
I'm lost in thoughts
Lost in time
Hoping someday soon I'll feel alive

These days are heavy
But they're all I've got
I'm living in a world that's filled with knots
And even though I wear my rose-colored shades
The world around me still fades

These days are heavy
But they're all I've got
I'm living in a world that's filled with knots
And even though I wear my rose-colored shades
The world around me still fades

I'm dancing in the moonlight
But I'm alone
My mind's a mess
My heart's been stoned
The memories haunt me
They won't let go
And with each step
The shadows grow

But still I try to find the light
To find a way to make things right
I'm searching for a way to see
The beauty in the world
And in me

And still I search for something true
But all I find is shades of blue
I'm lost in thoughts
Lost in time
Hoping someday soon I feel alive

These days are heavy
But they're all I've got
I'm living in a world that's filled with knots
And even though I wear my rose-colored shades
The world around me still fades

These days are heavy
But they're all I've got
I'm living in a world that's filled with knots
And even though I wear my rose-colored shades
The world around me still fades

I'm walking down this empty street
But I'll keep on going
With aching feet
Hoping someday soon
I'll find
A way to leave
The shadows behind
(The shadows behind)

These days are heavy
But they're all I've got (all I've got)
I'm living in a world that's filled with knots (filled with knots)
And even though I wear my rose-colored shades (shades)
The world around me still fades

These days are heavy
But they're all I've got (all I've got)
I'm living in a world that's filled with knots (filled with knots)
And even though I wear my rose-colored shades (rose-colored shades)
The world around me still fades
