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".
 

Verse

Its 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 light in the dark

is the best gift of all

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

Verse

Now the ghosts of my past have been stirring

and a stranger looks out through my eyes

and I'm tired of holding down feelings

with the strength of the last compromise

Verse

So I hope you dont see me this morning

in a shadow so hard to erase

'cause I can't give the love that youve needed

when the silence is too hard to break.

Verse

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

There's no torch to guide the way through

just 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

Repeat Chorus x 2
