(Ooh) NOVA3… (Ooh) Morning news in a neon frame, City’s loud but I smile the same. Coffee cold, but my cheeks stay warm, I can’t feel the thunder in the storm. You say, “Girl, you’re glowing,” I say, “Maybe,” Truth is I don’t know if it’s me lately. Mirror talks, I just nod along, Zip the dress, then I zip the song. If I squint, it’s paradise, If I blink, it’s gonna bite. So I paint the edges bright— Hold my breath and hold on tight. I’ve got rainbow tinted glasses, Turn my hurt into a dance, Make the cracks look like they’re classic, Make the “no”s feel like a chance. If you see me, please don’t ask this— How I’m smiling through the static. I’ve got rainbow tinted glasses, And I’m scared to take ’em off. (Yeah) Pretty colors, pretty lies, pretty lights. (Hey) If it’s sparkling, it’s alright—right? (Ooh) Rainbow tinted… (Ooh) Don’t look too close tonight. Backstage kisses from a camera flash, Everybody wants a piece of that. I’m a headline in a perfect pose, But you never see the clothes on the floor. Laugh too loud, make ‘em think I’m fine, I’m a firework drawn with a lipstick line. I can flirt with the danger like it’s fun— But sometimes I don’t know who I’m becoming. If I run, they’ll call it fate, If I stay, they’ll call it brave. So I spin it into gold— Hide the truth in what I say. I’ve got rainbow tinted glasses, Turn my hurt into a dance, Make the cracks look like they’re classic, Make the “no”s feel like a chance. If you see me, please don’t ask this— How I’m smiling through the static. I’ve got rainbow tinted glasses, And I’m scared to take ’em off. Sometimes I wish I could be plain, No filter, no stage name. Just a heartbeat in the dark, Not a constellation of sparks. But the lights feel like a promise, And the crowd feels like a home, Even when I’m out of breath, Even when I’m all alone. Tell me—if you loved the real me, Would you stay when the glitter’s gone? Or would you miss the version That I learned to put on? I’ve got rainbow tinted glasses, Turn my hurt into a dance, Make the cracks look like they’re classic, Make the “no”s feel like a chance. If you see me, please don’t ask this— How I’m smiling through the static. I’ve got rainbow tinted glasses, But I’m learning to take ’em off… (Ooh) One day I’ll let you see. (Ooh) One day it’ll be me. (Ooh) Rainbow tinted… (Ooh) Don’t look too close tonight.
