Let it be said, I try my best, it's just not that good
Human condition keeps love so out of touch
A blind man once stared into the sun
The fire burned beautifully and he wanted too much
Oh, love isn't the cruel one, that's us
(Oh, love isn't the cruel one, that's us)
Burned my bridges and left my past for dead
Made enemies, I apologize, that's my bad
When the day breaks I wake up high and alone
Needed the world to seem rose colored
(Needed the world to seem rose colored)
What if I wrote you a song, wrote you a letter
Made right by my wrongs to show you I'm better now
Life runs on credit, been indebted since the day I was born
Bottles outline my body drunk on the floor
Oh, love isn't the foolish one, that's us
(Oh, love isn't the foolish one, that's us)
Spent all night buried in my phone
Women I'll never meet, lucky them
The heat in my car isn't fixed, so I drive in the cold
Before everything seemed rose colored
(Before everything seemed rose colored)
Damned to repent for crimes once committed in a former life
Oh, former life, a shorter life
Push, just to pull, stones up rolling hills far from paradise
Oh, paradise must be nice
Burned my bridges and left my past for dead
Made enemies, I apologize, that's my bad
When the day breaks I wake up high and alone
Needed the world to seem rose colored
(Needed the world to seem rose colored)
Needed the world to seem rose colored
But then again, how would I know
