Yellow

Yellow was the color of my first lost hair
I made every effort let her know I care
Every song that I’d sing
Let her now I was at her feet
And she’d smile as I’d say
She’s the prettiest girl I’d ever seen
But her walls were up
Her heart was closed
And I found myself thinkin
Not the sweetest song could break her
From the lonely place she firmly chose to be
Never thought I’d fall for brown
Until I found the girl right next door
Love never felt so effortlessly
And I’d never think to ask for more
But she broke my heart
With the words she never said
oh.
Purple hair it does to me
What sugar does to kids before their teens
I thought that this was love again
Until we found ourselves without a plan
I guess someday I’ll come to understand
