True Colors
I thought when I looked at you I would see the true colors that shine through
But you made an idiot of me, in all that I see, cause the only thing true was your contempt for society
And in the enemies you branded, you branded me, you never took the time to understand C…
True colors, true colors…
True colors, are they what’s underneath or are they the colors that shine through
I mean, there wasn’t a thing on this earth that I wouldn’t have gone through for you
Even that night you flipped and wouldn’t stop beating me,
I couldn’t help to look into your eyes through the darkness I see
I looked back and got a vision of every memory, every story you told
And I cried, not cause it hurt, cause your heart finally turned too cold
True colors, true colors… don’t be afraid
In my recovery, I’d stare naked looking in the mirror at the bruises heal
But they were only skin deep, the scars on my heart I can no longer conceal
And now in my eyes, the torment showed to you became my secrets to reveal
But my pride, my strength, my love… to you, for you, I could never again let you steal
I took a vow, I’d love you with my last breath
Only I never thought you’d be my death
True colors, true colors… don’t be afraid
True colors, don’t be afraid
Now… you’re dead to me, as dead as dead can be
3 months later, every time I roll over still the pinch in my hip to remind me
My baby, I know this world was cold and I know that they damaged you
But you didn’t have to damage me too, that disrespect you can never undue.
Only cause you knew better, you knew what it would do.
