shades of us - Capstan

You’re all I want, couldn’t face it

I wish you would’ve let me go

Your shades of blue left me painted

Violet and indigo

True color shown

Threw me to your light and all my flaws illuminate

Searching for my love when you discovered things you hate

And I’m acting like it’s nothing, yeah, like everything was fine

But it only takes a word from you to change my mind

All I can recall still makes me slowly start to choke

I know I should’ve listened but instead I only spoke

I was the blind turn in your learning curve

No one gets what they deserve

You’re all I want, couldn’t face it

I wish you would’ve let me go

Your shades of blue left me painted

Violet and indigo

I got so close, I could taste it

A moment from the killing blow

I wonder why I couldn’t take it

in the colored show

Left on your own

Burning I was the moth into your flame

It’s all just in your nature, I know neither wants the blame

'Cause the deer escapes the hunter as it’s stepping off a cliff

Every moment was a chase and it has led us right to this

Violet, and we treat it like a game

Don’t deny it, all the thrill in causing pain

But I looked into your eyes and I lost my nerve

No one gets what they deserve

You’re all I want, couldn’t face it

I wish you would’ve let me go

Your shades of blue left me painted

Violet and indigo

I got so close, I could taste it

A moment from the killing blow

I wonder why I couldn’t take it

in the colored show

Left on your own

Every shade and tone

On our canvas, bloody scarlet, bleached gray bone

We’ll finish under black

Black

You’re all I want, couldn’t face it

I wish you would’ve let me go

Your shades of blue left me painted

Violet and indigo

I got so close, I could taste it

A moment from the killing blow

I wonder why I couldn’t take it

in the colored show

Left on your own
