My red is turning blue
And I dont know what to do

My blue is too late
I feel like I'm trapped in a crate

My red was never good enough
My red was all a bluff

Im not red at all
Im a black that stands tall

Black is all I'll ever be
Cant make purple so maybe you should leave me

Because you deserve that shade
But purple is what I've never made

So I stand by my words, I'm as bad as bad can be
I dont know what I was thinking when I said I'd let you love me

All I ever do is bring pain and hurt
Honestly you'd be better off with Bert

You never saw what you did to me but I see
You've changed me in ways I never thought could be

You plauged my thoughts every day and night
You always made me feel alright

I always knew you could never really stay
I begged you for forever but all I want is another day

Why were you always different to me
Why are you all I can clearly see

God I love you with everything I've ever had
Its like I'm playing football without a pad

I'll take every hit and more
I'll run as long as I have to just to score

Its a dangerous as driving without a seatbelt in a car
Or picking a fight in a bar

But I dont really care
I think we kinda make a great pair

We hurt and we grieve
Just so the other can breathe

But we hurt when the other is in pain
So our hurt is only in vain

Ive turned my heart black long ago
Its the exact opposite color of the snow

I painted it red to match what I see
An angry little thing is what they call me

They told me I cant just throw my heart away
They told me I would need it one day

I always thought they lied
But it felt like my hands were tied

I never thought I'd give it to you
But you took away the blue
