Rose-Colored Glasses Lyrics

Thought it was perfect, you were all I ever wanted

It started different, but we're both used to the toxic

We had it special, but I know you had some issues

But I stayed blind, 'cause I just wanted to be with you

And from that night, I thought that it was us against the world

I tried to fight it, but I didn't wanna lose my girl

I should've listened to my friends when they told me

About how everything you're doing is controlling

And I thought that you and I had it all

And I was not afraid to fall

'Cause I thought you'd catch me then and there

But now I get the feeling that you don't care

I've been looking through rose-colored glasses

Trying to ignore what happened

Maybe it was just a bad habit

Why does it always end so tragic

I was walking past all the red flags

Everytime, kept pulling you back

But I thought I missed what we used to have

But darling, maybe this was never meant to last

Feels like the only time that you ever loved me was when we were on the phone at night

I tried to hide it to everyone else, I didn't know that it didn't feel right

And I was hoping I could fly out to see you, but it looks like I'll be changing my plans

I was hoping we could fix this easy, but you refuse to understand

Didn't know that this wasn't healthy

Maybe it was me being selfish

But I'm so used to getting my heart ripped out

That I thought love was one thing I couldn't live without

I've been looking through rose-colored glasses

Trying to ignore what happened

Maybe it was just a bad habit

Why does it always end so tragic

I was walking past all the red flags

Everytime, kept pulling you back

But I thought I missed what we used to have

But darling, maybe this was never meant to last

And everything lately is changing

Fooled me into thinking it's painless

But lately, you and I have grown distant

I really thought this would be different

I've been looking through rose-colored glasses

Trying to ignore what happened

Maybe it was just a bad habit

Why does it always end so tragic

I was walking past all the red flags

Everytime, kept pulling you back

But I thought I missed what we used to have

But darling, maybe this was never meant to last
