Rothko

[Verse 1]

Couldn't hold you for long

Guess the distance looked better than me

I could only try so

Hard to get close to you

[Verse 2]

Now you're out with someone

Who is far more holy than me

Does she make you feel pure?

Safe and secure and new?

[Pre-Chorus]

I was chasing

The thrill of changing your mind

Hung up, wasting

[Chorus]

I thought you saw me like a Rothko

But you didn't even see me at all

Now I know was only ever confusing to you

I thought you saw me like a Rothko

But you didn't even see me at all

Now I know was only ever confusing

Confusing to you

[Verse 3]

I remember the days when I thought

We'd go the same way

Yeah, but when you're nineteen

It's all so easy to lose

[Pre-Chorus]

I was chasing

The thrill of changing your mind

Hung up, wasting

[Chorus]

I thought you saw me like a Rothko

But you didn't even see me at all

Now I know was only ever confusing to you

I thought you saw me like a Rothko

But you didn't even see me at all

Now I know I was only ever confusing

Confusing to you

[Bridge]

I always thought that you saw me like a Rothko

I always thought that you saw me like a Rothko

(Ooh)

[Chorus]

I thought you saw me like a Rothko

But you didn't even see me at all

Now I know I was only ever confusing to you

I thought you saw me like a Rothko

But you didn't even see me at all

Now I know I was only ever confusing

Confusing to you
