It's a one way world that I'm lookin' at
It's a heartless state I'm in
It's a nervous time and because of that
I stay right where I've been
A hundred dreams gettin' carried away
That won't be dreamed again
When something's wrong,
and you've known it all along
It's easier to pretend
chorus:
I need a pair of rose colored glasses
To see it all in a different light
I need a pair of rose colored glasses
I'm sick of seein' the world in black and white
I need a pair of rose colored glasses
Rose colored glasses
It's a dead end street I've been running down
To a hard line place I've come
It's a lonely drive through a broken town
No matter where you're from
One more heart gettin' buried alive
Don't misunderstand
When you can't breathe, gettin' weaker in the knees
You hide your head in the sand
chorus
But if I saw the world as perfect
I'd no longer care
So smash the glass and throw them out
Cause I don't want to wear
Rose colored glasses
It's a heartless state I'm in
It's a nervous time and because of that
I stay right where I've been
A hundred dreams gettin' carried away
That won't be dreamed again
When something's wrong,
and you've known it all along
It's easier to pretend
chorus:
I need a pair of rose colored glasses
To see it all in a different light
I need a pair of rose colored glasses
I'm sick of seein' the world in black and white
I need a pair of rose colored glasses
Rose colored glasses
It's a dead end street I've been running down
To a hard line place I've come
It's a lonely drive through a broken town
No matter where you're from
One more heart gettin' buried alive
Don't misunderstand
When you can't breathe, gettin' weaker in the knees
You hide your head in the sand
chorus
But if I saw the world as perfect
I'd no longer care
So smash the glass and throw them out
Cause I don't want to wear
Rose colored glasses
