I wonder sometimes if you would
have seen me in a different light.
Maybe if I wasn't blue all the time
you would understand that
the red that burns in my heart?

As I sit alone facing the world
alone for the first time in
my life I realize that maybe
I did you wrong as I tried to
force you to see the colors that
you we're so blind to see.

I wish I could be as lucky as you
to see the other colors of people,
but maybe you leaped blindly
as you take things for face value.
Rather then notice the guy beside you.

So you tell me that I'm doing it
to myself, and that all you
want out of me is my friendship,
but my heart demands more.
I apologize for the greed of my heart.

The only thing I can do is admit
that the madness you caused me
burns and tears me apart, and
nothing can hold the flood of emotions
that you cause me to feel.

I continue to stand in the alley you
left me in, and I see the sun rise
from my new world with only your
memory in my heart.
