Thank you to those who gave me feedback either through here or through the myspace site. I have had another go at making it a bit less pretentious. Feel free to tell me I failed.

A cruel shade of blue

Intro

I can't give my love to you

Love is just another shade of blue

Verse

I can see you alone in the spotlight

with the weight of the world on your mind.

You were wearing your hair like a shield from the words

and sang "Your Path Is Brighter Than Mine".

Now it's midnight and there's no second chances

Just the burden of the unspoken truth

when you're screaming but nobody's hearing

'cause you're wrapped in a cruel shade of blue

Chorus

live in the moment

and stare at the walls

and wait til the journey is through

a glow in the dark

is the best gift of all

when you're lost in a cruel shade of blue.

Verse

All the ghosts of my past have been stirring

while a stranger looks out through my eyes

and I'm tired of holding down feelings

with the strength of the last compromise

Ive waited too long for the image to clear

and the shadow is hard to erase.

Ive heard the answers but I don't understand

and the silence is so hard to break.

So, blame if you want to but who can you trust?

There's no torch that will guide the way through

but don't let this hurt be the memory of me

We're both trapped in this cruel shade of blue

Chorus

live in the moment

and stare at the floor

and wait til this journey is through

a glow in the darkness

is the best gift of all

when you're lost in this cruel shade of blue
