"shades of us" lyrics

"shades of us"

You're all I want, couldn't face it
I wish you would've let me go
Your shades of blue left me painted
Violet and indigo
True colors shown

Drew me to your light and all my flaws illuminate
Searching for my love when you discovered things you hate
And I acted like it's nothing, yeah, like everything was fine
But it only takes a word from you to change my mind

All I can recall still makes me slowly start to choke
I know I should have listened, but instead I only spoke
I was the blind turn in your learning curve
No one gets what they deserve

You're all I want, couldn't face it
I wish you would have let me go
Your shades of blue left me painted
Violet and indigo
I got so close, I could taste it
A moment from the killing blow
I'm all you want couldn't take it
When finally the colors showed
Left on your own

Burning crimson red, I was a moth into your flame
It's all just in our nature, I know neither one's to blame
Cause the deer escapes the hunter as it's stepping off a cliff
Every moment was a chase and it has led us right to this

Violent, and we treat it like a game
Don't deny it, found a thrill in causing pain
But I looked into your eyes and I lost my nerve
No one gets what they deserve

You're all I want couldn't face it
I wish you would have let me go
Your shades of blue left me painted
Violet and indigo
I got so close, I could taste it
A moment from the killing blow
I'm all you want couldn't take it
When finally the colors showed
Left on your own

Every shade and tone
On our canvas, bloody, scarlet, bleached grey bones
Will vanish under black
Black

You're all I want couldn't face it
I wish you would have let me go
Your shades of blue left me painted
Violet and indigo
I got so close, I could taste it
A moment from the killing blow
I'm all you want couldn't take it
When finally the colors showed
Left on your own
