Lyrics For Good - Color Theory

For Good

Your jaw is clenched
Preparing for the worst
A pessimist is always on alert
Your life has had its share of tragedy
But standing guard takes too much energy
Forget about abandonment
Forget your childhood
Count on me cause I am here for good
Your parents split in 1992
But you’re the only one who’s blaming you
And though you haven’t
Seen your father since
When I reach out to touch you
Still you wince
When will you let yourself love me more?
When will you let yourself love me
All the way?
I love the way you radiate
An inner strength and pride
And holding back is sometimes justified
We need to shield ourselves from violence
But love demands a lack of self-defense
Forget about abandonment
You know I never would
Trust in me cause I am here for good
