lyrics

I don’t mean to color your attitude
But lifting her style is all that it took
You are nothing but platitudes
Green with envy is not a good look

One piece of the rainbow is enough for me
Did I choose the right slice? We’ll wait and see
She was my queen, I am your pawn
You red my mind, and now I go on

I don’t mean to color your attitude
But lifting her style is all that it took
You are nothing but platitudes
Green with envy is not a good look

The color of money, the weight of love
Did you really think we’d walk the aisle hand in glove?
You’re getting mad, and I’m getting sick
Convincing me that you were her’s a pretty good trick

Look through my eyes the frequencies
You’ll see she was more than monochrome
You can’t replace what you can’t see
Green’s not a color it’s a shade of home

You color my eyes, she colored my world
A burst of enveloping prismatic light
The image you project is not hi-res
Love’s not a game of black and white

I don’t mean to color your attitude
But lifting her style is all that it took
You are nothing but platitudes
Green with envy is not a good look

The green in your eyes as it fades to black
Doesn’t quite convince me that she’s never coming back
If you can’t be her, then I can’t be me
Rather than spend my time with you I think I’ll wait and see

I don’t mean to color your attitude
But lifting her style is all that it took
You are nothing but platitudes
Green with envy is not a good look
