lyrics

VERSE 1

Your smile stretches for miles
Don't you think that's a little much? 
Your eyes can brighten the skies. 
Are you really that out of touch?

Can you not see things clearly?
Your view is skewed severely
Your wanton positivity
It's really getting to me

CHORUS

Do you see Mauve through those rose-colored glasses?
'Cause you're not seeing what I can see
You must see Mauve through those rose-colored glasses
It'll let you down, I guarantee,
It's just a fantasy your eyewear wove
It seems to me like you're seeing Mauve

VERSE 2
Your voice rings of rejoice
It's singsong and saccharin
Your grin gets under my skin
My patience has been wearing thin

Do you not pay attention?
Can you not feel the tension?
Do you see the world intentionally
one-dimensionally

CHORUS
Do you see Mauve through those Rose-colored glasses?
Do you see something I can't see?
You must see Mauve through those Rose-colored glasses
I can't stand by and let it be,
You're seeing sanguine hues smelling cloves
It seems to me you're seeing Mauve

-BRIDGE-
Don't you dare tell me "good morning"
Please don't smile at me that way
You look at me without a warning
And tell me everything's okay,
But I don't want to be okay.

SOLO

VERSE 3
You're being Naive, do you really believe 
I've got a bad attitude? 
I'm trying to help you acheive a better way to perceive
You could show a little grattitude
 I'm not antagonistic
Life's not so idealistic
Don't call me pessimistic
I'm just being realisitic

CHORUS
Do you see Mauve through those Rose-colored glasses?
 Not even sure what that could mean
When you see Mauve through those Rose-colored glasses,
the world has a a sickly pinkish sheen
Your positivity's a torment trove
It sems to me you're seeing mauve.
