"True Colours" lyrics

Tell me again about before
How you got my picture on the wall
So, here's a fact that you ignore
Not who you think, down to the core

'Cause I know I'm on the floor
My mood is swinging harder than a stage during an encore
Why you keep saying I'm looking okay
Like if it meant I gotta be alright either way?

Why won't you let me show my true colours?
True colours
Oh-oh-oh
Why do you still believe I don't cover?
I don't cover
Oh-oh-oh
'Cause I'd be painting everything black and blue

I think I'm pleasing way too hard
I should've snapped right from the start
What should I do to show the dark
Depressing weight that's on my heart?

'Cause some days I'm falling apart
Yet, other days you see me thrive a lot on my art
Trust me, I know you feel like this isn't real
But it's too much for me to bring it up and reveal

Why won't you let me show my true colours?
True colours
Oh-oh-oh
Why do you still believe I don't cover?
I don't cover
Oh-oh-oh
'Cause I'd be painting everything black and blue

If you knew what was going on inside of me
Would you fight for me or would you cry for me?
If anything, I wish you wouldn't lie for me
Are you too blind to see?
Blind to see

Why won't you let me show my true colours?
True colours
Oh-oh-oh
Why do you still believe I don't cover?
I don't cover
Oh-oh-oh
'Cause I'd be painting everything black and blue
