Verse 1] revealing the layers of metal Beneath the achy flesh (Oooooohhh) The tin man started to rust I couldn't trust the parts that were left myopic vision My death was closer than it appeared I was staring in a car mirror all I ever saw.. was fear. [Prechorus] I couldn't tell that the grass in my head was blue And no matter where I go That will always remain as true. I couldn't tell that the grass in my head was blue And no matter where I go That will always remain as true. [Chorus] I never really loved you If I was so desperate to leave I couldn't let go From the chains, and it silenced belief It wasn't your fault You loved me as best as you could I just couldn't love you Because I loved being misunderstood [Verse 2] I don't need your forgiveness I just need you to know that you're right. I accept the discomfort Of knowing I caused you to fight The parts of identity You smother, while trying to hide I'm sorry that my actions Convinced you to contemplate suicide. [Bridge] I'm doing better now… But recovery comes with a stain… Compassion is paired with disdain… I can't resist the compulsion To Ruthlessly ruin my name (Oooooohhhh) I buried my sorrow in writing Repairing the ash with a flame (Oooohhhhh) [Prechorus] I couldn't tell that the grass in my head was blue And no matter where I go That will always remain as true. I couldn't tell that the grass in my head was blue And no matter where I go That will always remain as true. [Chorus] I never really loved you If I was so desperate to leave I couldn't let go From the chains, and it silenced belief It wasn't your fault You loved me as best as you could I just couldn't love you Because I loved being misunderstood [Postchorus] No matter where my mind wanders From indigo, to maroon, and blue And even when all the color fades I'm always left with your memory’s hue.. I'm always left you And I don't know what to do I'm always left with you And every mistaken cue.
