True Colors by Slaves (USA) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I always felt uneasy when we weren't in the same place
Taken back by the feeling that this could all go away
She said "Baby I would never do what those girls do"
Funny, I’d only hear that when it benefitted you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Did I get too close?
Didn’t mean to have your true colors exposed

[Chorus]
Wait, did you ever take a moment just to think
About anyone, anyone other than yourself?
Give me back the love I wasted now
Cold, one day it's gonna hit you: You’re alone
I won’t be there, won't be there
It's cruel to turn around
Give me back the love I wasted now

[Verse 2]
It’s your eyes that told me you were in it
All the flags that were red, I told myself they were tinted
Then I noticed that you couldn’t stand
The sight of your own shadow
Like the devil on your shoulder
Couldn’t stand to wait much longer
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Did I get too close?
Didn’t mean to have your true colors exposed
Imperfections start to show
That’s when I wanted you more

[Chorus]
Wait, did you ever take a moment just to think
About anyone, anyone other than yourself?
Give me back the love I wasted now
Cold, one day it's gonna hit you: You’re alone
I won’t be there, won't be there
It's cruel to turn around
Give me back the love I wasted now

[Bridge]
Give me back the love I wasted now
Now, now

[Chorus]
Wait, did you ever take a moment just to think
About anyone, anyone other than yourself?
Give me back the love I wasted now
Cold, one day it's gonna hit you: You’re alone
I won’t be there, won't be there
It's cruel to turn around
Give me back the love I wasted now
