Color Blind

I wasn’t ready for this
Didn’t think this day would come
I wasn’t ready for this
Tonight it all came undone
When you walked away, dear
And I just stood here
I’ve got a bad habit of
Painting pictures while wearing my rose-colored glasses
I couldn’t see the flags that were covered in blood
I’ve ruined another portrait
Self-inflicted color blindness
Obvious to everyone but me
So when I lost my way you couldn’t stay
I’m too heavy and you’re too selfish
I wasn’t ready for this
Didn’t think this day would come
I wasn’t ready for this
Tonight it all came undone
When you walked away, dear
And I just stood here
I’m not ready
Another tale of a hero’s hubris
Fell victim to his own denial
He could see the light
But he’s still too blind to the image that he’s created
A jealous heart with a sharpened tongue
Just a shell of what she used to be
She said, «You don’t deserve love.»
And I just laughed, «Fuck you, you’re just projecting.»
Ow!
I wasn’t ready for this
Didn’t think this day would come
I wasn’t ready for this
Tonight it all came undone
I couldn’t see the flags that were covered in blood
I can see the light, but I’m still too blind
«You don’t deserve love.»
And I just laughed, «Well, fuck you!»
