lyrics

Out on his own and rain begins to fall
A man all alone, he’s waiting for her call
He can’t believe she’d leave his lips for something new
But her fickle heart played his, so what is there to do

He knows that she loves him still
Knows she didn’t mean to break his stride
But these are nothing but rose-colored lies

It’s been a while, he says he’s moving on
But at 8AM, he knows the train she’s on
Just like every other day, he sees her at the pool
Oh, what he wouldn’t give to break one little rule

He knows that she loves him still
Knows she didn’t mean to take his pride
Leaving him with these rose-colored lies

He gave her some space, he gave her time
All of this with hope set up in mind
That she’d see his heart and maybe someday
She would see he was just like the sun
She’d realize he was the only one
With her all night, with her all day

Oh, he knows she loves him still
Knows she wants to be back in his life
But these are just some more rose-colored lies
Seen through his rose-colored eyes
Yeah, they’re all rose-colored lies
