Cleaned away all these faded stains That my soul could not erase
The design of the dotted line That my finger slowly traced
It's so easy to cry and I've Never had to force any tears
So, it's safe to just cut away Before thought can interfere
This burning in me lasted, filling my veins The sun beneath the clouds continued my way
But then it gleamed in front of me Like a star it dropped and blocked my vision
Simple yet unfinished Love is a palette mixed
With colors I have never known Folded it up and watched it fall
A crumpled mess of everything Even if it's "not my problem"
And though I try to hide it deep within my heart
The tears in my eyes amount to lies And cut away into another day
To let go of this aching soul That I stole away so deep
Quietly, I began to speak As I strained to find the key
I'd created my own charade And a world that I'd conceived
All the colors began to run In this lie that I believed
I gave away the bags I'd filled with regret
I threw away the thoughts That I thought to forget
The me that felt so underprepared Was spared to muddle on in agony
The memory inside was resting ablaze Until the night began to shift it away
And as I tried to recognize Then I realized the name had been misplaced
Simple yet unfinished Love is a palette mixed
And though I try to hide it deep within my heart
The person I loved so yesterday Is suddenly being cut away
