Pretty Colours Songtext
von PEPTALK

I shouldn′t be so sentimental
Painting shitty things in pretty colours
Explaining away bad behaviours
Cos they seem like someone else
I wish I knew when it happened
Where I was on the date, the hour, minute, second
I couldn't have seen it coming
Watching you fall for someone else

I′m holding onto hope but I know that letting go is what I need
I've been told that it's the hope, that′ll kill you till you know
Just to let it be

I don′t think I can take another friend of a friend
Weighing in on our problems
Giving their two cents
Cause there's no escape even with good intentions
Can′t pretend I'm not shaken
Could you just say it to my face
You know I can′t just walk away
I've never needed to hear the words I don′t wanna hear so bad


You looked at me like I'm a puzzle
Some mystery to be discovered
Love never felt like it came easy
You made it feel like paint by numbers

Wish I could tell you how it happened
How all the lights went dark the world around me flattened
I couldn't even feel me running
And I couldn′t ask for help

I′m holding onto hope but I know that letting go is what I need
I've been told that it′s the hope, that'll kill you till you know
Just to let it be

I don′t think I can take another friend of a friend
Weighing in on our problems
Giving their two cents
Cause there's no escape even with good intentions
Can′t pretend I'm not shaken
Could you just say it to my face
You know I can't just walk away
I′ve never needed to hear the words I don′t wanna hear so bad

I'm holding on
I know you′re gone


Could you just say it to my face
You know I can't just walk away
I′ve never needed to hear the words I don't wanna hear so bad
