When I was young and I was foolish
A boy took my heart, wouldn't break it
He just stretched it thin
Stretched it from the core
I copied pictures at a museum
Some of them were just like him
The colors flowed
Then hit the page and froze
I never thought someone could
Be one of those hues in
Constant motion, they'd
Have so much to lose
If they froze
I used to be alive and bright
But now I'm just in black and white
Waiting for some paint to fill this frame
My dreams were filled with paintbrush strokes
Colors gone when I awoke
Then back again
When I was at sleep's door
I never thought someone could
Be one of those hues in
Constant motion, they'd
Have so much to lose
If they froze
Violet fills the air
My blue breath everywhere
I want to be
A moving, flowing color
I never knew that I could
Be one of those hues in
Constant motion
I will not be the one
Who froze
