colour and madness

Well the truth it fell so heavy, like a hammer through the room
that I could choose another over her.
you always said I was an actor, baby, guess in truth you thought me just amateur

That you never saw the signs, that you never lost your grip
Oh, come on now
That's such a childish claim, now I wear the brand of traitor, don't it seem a bit absurd
When it's clear I was so obviously framed
When it's clear I was so obviously framed

Now you act so surprised, to hear what you already know
And all you really had to do was ask
I'd have told you straight away, all those lies were truth
And all that was false was fact

Now you hold me close and hard, but I was like a statue at most
Refusing to acknowledge you'd been hurt
Now you're clawing at my throat, and you're crying all is lost
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt

Well the truth it fell so heavy, like a hammer through the room
that I could choose another over her
You always said I was an actor, baby, guess in truth you thought me just amateur

Was it you who told me once, now looking back it seems so real
That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill
So why is it now after I had my fill, that you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned
Shall we call this a lesson learned?
Shall we call this a lesson learned?
