Red

Well, I guess that I’m part of the problem
But I don’t really know what to do
If I gave just a moment to catch up
Would I see things more clearly than blue?
In this red hot anger
That I’ve carefully forged to a flame
That you’ll never see even as it grows
No, it’s just burning me
Well, I guess that I’m trying to wake up
Carry on like I’m doing fine
Keep my own life moving forward
While I try to keep you off my mind
Seeing red in all angles
Now I’ve trapped myself in a cage
That you’ll never see even as I grow
No, it’s just hurting me
And this girl that you once knew
You said she didn’t have enough for you
So I cut my hair and dyed it back to my roots
And you saw me for something shiny and new
Well, I guess that I’m trying to make up
All the time that I let slip away
While I focused on how I could get you
To be better, treat me that way
'Cause I ain’t red any longer
I don’t mask myself anymore
But you’ll never see even as I go
Walking past you now, I know
Oh, the ghosts that walk on by
Well, they are faded grey and I
I may be blue but not red
