I recall the pain that last September brings
Cause I remember you and dark blue skies
Looking back I see that we were just a fling
But I wish that I knew that at the time
I never thought you'd understand
But you trusted me with your secrets and
I kept them safe from the world outside
You took me from the blue and grey
Cause the floor colour wasn't quite my taste
So you showed me
Things beyond my mind
You showed me life I didn't see before
So I ignored the one that I knew
I saw the red flags, I tried to ignore
I was hoping you were colourblind, too
I remember locking up the red flags, dear
Where I kept your secrets, not so safe now
I should of known denying doesn't stop the fear
And when you broke my heart I didn't need to ask how
You showed me life I didn't see before
So I ignored the one that I knew
I saw the red flags, I tried to ignore
I was hoping you were colourblind, too
Yeah I prayed that you were colour blind
Cause I didn't want to go back to my life
Where everybody knew
What I was like
(Everybody knew what I was like)
But I'll admit, though mystified
That we'd never work out, no we're not aligned
But I couldn't bear to lose
What wasn't mine
(Couldn't bear to lose what wasn't mine)
You showed me life I didn't see before
So I ignored the one that I knew
I saw the red flags, I tried to ignore
I was hoping
Yeah I was hoping, hoping
Yeah I prayed that you were colour blind
Cause I didn't want to go back to my life
Where everybody knew what I was like
(Everybody knew what I was like)
But I'll admit, though mystified
That we'd never work out, no we're not aligned
But I couldn't bear to lose
What wasn't mine
(Couldn't bear to lose what wasn't mine)
Ooh
Ooh
Colour blind, too
Ooh
Ooh
Colour blind, too
