Violet - CANDOUR
Your silent letters kept me warm till midnight
I paced these broken floors enough to start a great fire
Forbidden love is what makes every story great
But I see no indication that we might ever have a happy ending
You stained my soul violet with every apology
I thought we found a way out of the forest, didn't we?
I was balancing on broken stilts I thought once held me upright
I hate to call you difficult but easy doesn't always mean right
The air turned maroon and the heat ran to my face
I was ready to leave the ground and go in search of a better place
I used to put you on a golden pedestal but I don't have it in me anymore
I feel like such a waste of space on your heartbreak calendar
You stained my soul violet with every apology
I thought we found a way out of the forest, didn't we?
I was balancing on broken stilts I thought once held me upright
I hate to call you difficult but easy doesn't always mean right
Beauty lies in the perception of the soul
I saw who you were underneath it all
But even when your lashes turn grey
You'll be out there chasing that fame
I hope one day you'll learn you're not easy to replace
Fixing you means putting a price on my dignity one I know I can't afford
Now I'm spineless in my ruined asylum so I believe
All your words of passionate love and heartless sincerity
The stories we choose to believe are true is a terrible thing
And the manic episodes I put you through dyed violet every inch of your green
You stained my soul violet with every apology
I thought we found a way out of the forest, didn't we?
I was balancing on broken stilts I thought once held me upright
I hate to call you difficult but easy doesn't always mean right.
