Lyrics

True Colors (Acoustic)

[Verse 1]

I always felt uneasy when we were in the same place

Taken back by the feeling that this could all go away

She said "Baby I would never do what those girls do"

Well, funny how I’d only hear that when it benefitted you, oh

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Did I get too close?

Didn’t mean to have your true colors exposed

[Chorus]

Wait, did you ever take a moment just to think

About anyone other than yourself?

Give me back the love I wasted now

And cold, one day it's gonna hit you

You’re alone, I won’t be there

It's cruel to turn around

Give me back the love I wasted now

[Verse 2]

It’s your eyes that told me you were in it

All the flags that were red, told myself they were tinted

Then I noticed that you couldn’t stand the sight of your own shadow

Like the devil on your shoulder, couldn’t stand to wait much longer

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Did I get too close?

Didn’t mean to have your true colors exposed

Imperfections start to show

That’s when I wanted you more

[Chorus]

Wait, did you ever take a moment just to think

About anyone other than yourself?

Give me back the love I wasted now

And cold, one day it's gonna hit you

You’re alone, I won’t be there

It's cruel to turn around

Give me back the love I wasted now

[Bridge]

Give me back the love

Give me back the love I wasted now, oh

Give me back the love

Give me back the love

Give me back the love wasted now

[Chorus]

Wait, did you ever take a moment just to think

About anyone other than yourself?

Give me back the love I wasted now

And cold, one day it's gonna hit you

You’re alone, I won’t be there

It's cruel to turn around

Give me back the love I wasted now

[Outro]

Oh, give me back the love

Give me back the love

Give me back the love I wasted now
