Claude Kelly
Colorblind
[MERCEDES]
When the world is seeing yellow
I only see gray
When everybody sees the rainbow
I'm stuck in the rain

You take a little piece of me
Every time you leave
I don't think that I'll
Ever find that silver lining
Or a reason to smile

You know I used to paint such vibrant dreams
Now I'm colorblind, colorblind
When did my heart get so full
Of a never mind, never mind
Did you know that you stole
The only thing I needed
Always black and white in my eyes
I'm colorblind

Ain't it funny that you managed
To just wash away
Even pictures that you're not in
Have started to fade
I try to play my favorite songs
But I can't sing along
The words don't feel the same
You've taken all the best things from me
And thrown them away

You know I used to paint such vibrant dreams
Now I'm colorblind, colorblind
When did my heart get so full
Of a never mind, never mind
Did you know that you stole
The only thing I needed
Always black and white in my eyes
I'm colorblind

I'll wait
For roses to be red again
And I hate
That you took my blue from the ocean

Give me back green greens and goldens
My purples, my blues, you stole them
How long will I be broken?

You know I used to paint such vibrant dreams
Now I'm colorblind, colorblind
When did my heart get so full
Of a never mind, never mind
Did you know that you stole
The only thing I needed
Only black and white in my eyes
I'm colorblind
It's only black and white in my eyes
I'm colorblind
