Someone stole your color And threw it to the wind Scattered like ashes You don’t know if you’ll ever find it Someone stole your color From the face you know so well You saw it in the cotton candy clouds And the teal ocean swell Someone stole your color You think that’s where it went The world looks so much brighter Like something heaven-sent Someone stole your color And that’s what no one knows Depression isn’t black It’s the color of a rose It’s the light orange in a sunset And the yellow of a peach Light blue, that majestic color So simply out of reach Someone stole your color Now everything’s too bright Sometimes darkness isn’t the opposite of light Someone stole your color So you’ll wear grey and black As if in mourning Until you get it back

Someone stole your color
Someone stole your color And threw it to the wind Scattered like ashes You don’t know if you’ll ever find it Someone stole your color From the face you know so well You saw it in the cotton candy clouds And the teal ocean swell Someone stole your color You think that’s where it went The world looks so much brighter Like something heaven-sent Someone stole your color And that’s what no one knows Depression isn’t black It’s the color of a rose It’s the light orange in a sunset And the yellow of a peach Light blue, that majestic color So simply out of reach Someone stole your color Now everything’s too bright Sometimes darkness isn’t the opposite of light Someone stole your color So you’ll wear grey and black As if in mourning Until you get it back
Sometimes darkness isn’t the opposite of light.
