Shades of Red

[Verse] There's a boy who's lost his way He don't have a lot to say Fills his cup with shades of red Finds some comfort in his bed There's a girl who once was pure Lost her innocence for sure Life's not kind to kids like them It's been that way since I was ten [Pre-Chorus] A simple solution But hard to achieve A hopeless delusion What should I believe? [Chorus] Why's this life so complicated? Every turn's a different shade of red Please just take me back to basics Nothing complicated Shades of red Why's this life so complicated? Every turn's a different shade of red Please just take me back to basics Nothing complicated Shades of red [Verse 2] What I said I didn't mean People dying in the street And it might seem like a joke But in my house We never spoke And this life's so short How can I believe? I was never taught What it means to be free [Chorus] Why's this life so complicated? Every turn's a different shade of red Please just take me back to basics Nothing complicated Shades of red Why's this life so complicated? Every turn's a different shade of red Please just take me back to basics Nothing complicated Shades of red
