Lie like you do
Purple is in you
You are too consumed
With all that is untrue
You ruin my life
Like all the time
When you lie like you do
Purple is in you

You are like a colouring book
I see so much colour in you
Ordinary words beside ordinary words
Start to dance like a pencil to paper
And I see what was vacant
And I see the colour in you
Like you are a book of colours
That meld and make one another

Till I see you
I am so happy and renewed
Like wedding vows
But you are a shade of blue
You don't see the truth
In the colours inside of you
I am so much more myself
Till I see you
You shade of blue

You are like a colouring book
I see so much colour in you
Ordinary words beside ordinary words
Start to dance like a pencil to paper
And I see what was vacant
And I see the colour in you
Like you are a book of colours
That meld and make one another

Buried in your lies
I am tinged with redness
You are a depressant
When you enter a room
Cos you are who you are
And we don't want to be
Buried in your lies
We are tinged with redness
We are hiding behind

You are like a colouring book
I see so much colour in you
Ordinary words beside ordinary words
Start to dance like a pencil to paper
And I see what was vacant
And I see the colour in you
Like you are a book of colours
That meld and make one another
