Rose-colored Glasses
I know we're not together any longer
Then again, were we ever- really
I've had plenty of time to contemplate
I see a lot of things more clearly
You tried to be gentle and let me down easy
But I was blinded by my heart and could not see
The words you spoke that seemed so detached
Was your way of saying we would never be
There were other things said to cushion the blow
You told me eventually there would be someone new
After I'd told you I wanted you back
It's perplexing how I ignored that clue
You told me it was time for you to leave New York
Said there was nothing keeping you here
Just a couple of good friendships
Now, there's a signal... plain and clear
I didn't want to hear your meaning
I refused to read between the lines
Deep down I knew what you were saying
But I thought that I could change your mind
How naive of me to think I could
Change the direction of your heart
How silly of me to pine for you
After all this time we’ve been apart
