Lyrics shades of us - Capstan

shades of us

You’re all I want, couldn’t face it
I wish you would’ve let me go
Your shades of blue left me painted
Violet and indigo
True color shown
Threw me to your light and all my flaws illuminate
Searching for my love when you discovered things you hate
And I’m acting like it’s nothing, yeah, like everything was fine
But it only takes a word from you to change my mind
All I can recall still makes me slowly start to choke
I know I should’ve listened but instead I only spoke
I was the blind turn in your learning curve
No one gets what they deserve
You’re all I want, couldn’t face it
I wish you would’ve let me go
Your shades of blue left me painted
Violet and indigo
I got so close, I could taste it
A moment from the killing blow
I wonder why I couldn’t take it
in the colored show
Left on your own
Burning I was the moth into your flame
It’s all just in your nature, I know neither wants the blame
'Cause the deer escapes the hunter as it’s stepping off a cliff
Every moment was a chase and it has led us right to this
Violet, and we treat it like a game
Don’t deny it, all the thrill in causing pain
But I looked into your eyes and I lost my nerve
No one gets what they deserve
You’re all I want, couldn’t face it
I wish you would’ve let me go
Your shades of blue left me painted
Violet and indigo
I got so close, I could taste it
A moment from the killing blow
I wonder why I couldn’t take it
in the colored show
Left on your own
Every shade and tone
On our canvas, bloody scarlet, bleached gray bone
We’ll finish under black
Black
You’re all I want, couldn’t face it
I wish you would’ve let me go
Your shades of blue left me painted
Violet and indigo
I got so close, I could taste it
A moment from the killing blow
I wonder why I couldn’t take it
in the colored show
Left on your own
