Watercolors Lyrics

once in a while
you ask for a smile
what am i going to say?
cos my tears are real
like how they feel
i like how they carry me away
baby i'm warning you
i'm happiest when i'm blue

[chorus]
now i'm bleeding like watercolors
keep me dreaming in pale blues and greens
keep on running like watercolors
lead me back to the sea
i'm just a fool
i talk out of school
i do things i should not do
i'm not ashamed, its the way that i'm made
i'm sorry but i'll never change for you

at least i can tell the truth,
i'm happiest when i'm blue
chorus

nightshade and opaline
blackbirds and painted dreams
and i'm falling, falling down
i keep falling, falling down

baby i'm warning you
i'm happiest when i'm blue
when i'm blue

chorus
