1.I’ve been completely dyed
2.In a color I can no longer change
3.I’m telling this story
4.Taking my running start toward the afterword
5.As you shake yourself free from it
6.Your emotions slip in and out of view
7.Can you still truly say it’s the end?
8.A prosaic turning point9.
10.I’m not looking to win an award here
11.You sink further into the past
12.As the color of your parting gift deepens
13.It brings me nothing but pain14.
15.If I can’t do anything
16.About this goodbye
17.Then at least allow me to be cold
18.The nights you’ve cut away
19.Are just a few too many
20.I always knew
21.Which way the wind was blowing
22.But I was hoping to see the slightest ray of light
23.I’m just an idiot, you see
24.I still want to hold onto hope25.
26.Your color has already changed
27.As you look at me now, completely broken
28.You tried to reach out your hand
29.Then pulled it back
30.That’s how it appeared to me31.
32.I was locked away in grief
33.And the one thing that comforted me
34.Was my memory of you
35.Ahh, the pain
36.Ahh, the pain37.
38.No matter how I may scream that it can’t be over
39.You just shake your head from side to side
40.Now that the light has gone cold
41.It’s so exceedingly pale
42.I tried to open my mouth and say
43.“I don’t mind starting over, if it means we’re not history”
44.But the door has closed
45.And there’s no going back46.
47.My nights have been split in two
48.With the scent of tulips wandering between
49.It fills my dreams and invites my tears50.
51.I no longer
52.Can do anything about it
53.All I can do it pull at your sleeve54.
55.If I can’t do anything
56.About this goodbye
57.Then at least allow me to be cold
58.The nights you’ve cut away
59.Are just a few too many
60.Today marks the end to our rose-colored days
61.As they mix into the snow
62.I’ve become the color you always wanted
63.Ahh, it’s so cold
