Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
All my past is color
Placed inside my hands
Empty is the canvas
Patiently I plan
Stars are bright above me
That's not where I am
Greens will be behind me
Blues will make the man
I can't help but fear I've done this wrong
Cause seldom second chances come along
Greys are all around me
Fading into black
Stars were bright above me
Won't you bring them back
I can't help but fear I've done this wrong
Cause seldom second chances come along
If time can break us, will it make us strong
Cause seldom second chances come along
