To some people every day is a different color
Today is gray because I've had eyestrain for weeks.
A year ago today was yellow in all different shades
The fall sights and weather bringing my mind at peace
If I squint hard enough, the colors are only faded.
Countless days ago, the day is burning red
Fading into bright pink that fills my heart
I knew it couldn't be broken, but the color still faded
Not all at once, just slowly from the start.
Several days past, the day is golden
More beautiful than I ever believed love would be
Sparkling in the light is the bright pink heart
I knew it couldn't be broken, but the color still faded
Not all at once, just slowly from the start.
Many days ago, the day is a colorful static
Bright and blinding in silence as it forms a wall between us only I can barely see through
The next days the day is blue
As the wall expands faster than I can break it apart
My restlessness takes over as I run out of breath
Not all at once, just slowly from the start.
Once again, today is gray as my breath fades
As I search for the colors I once knew
But I do know tomorrow is different
A color I can't see yet, but one brighter than the others
Until then I'll wait for the colors I once knew.
