My favourite colour was the blue you painted under my eyes
A close second was every off-white lie
As I was brushed in every blush then stripes of crimson
The hues grew too loud for you to listen
You thought you maybe might love me
Such a beautiful portrayal of what we could be
And maybe that would've been the case
If you never looked up to watch the pigment leave my face
Then came the red in my eyes
The red of the dawn
The green in my skin
The green of a path I've long since gone
You thought you loved me
Or that you maybe might
But I've now felt what love is
It paints you the blackest of night
