Let this one go
Then wait for the others
Those were the men I once called my brothers
But I'm a chameleon
Now watch me change colors

This bridge has grown old
It's stood for too long
Bishop takes rook
No longer your pawn
Abracadabra
Now I'm gone

Sink to the sea
I'll try not to wonder
If you'll ever think of me
In so many colors

The step of a ladder
That has come to break
My soul is no longer yours to take
But I hope you don't think
That my feelings were fake

I'll hang on to the memories
That I know weren't in vain
Fleeting moments of bliss
Will remain in my brain
But I'm moving on now
Things can't stay the same

I coat all my canvas
In so many paints
You help me discover
The color of my mistakes
"Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy."
