Rose Colored Glasses
Illusions of Love: Unveiling the Truth Behind Rose Colored Glasses
Lyrics
I don't know why I keep on believing you need me
Uncertain why I continue to believe you require my presence
When you've proved so many times that it ain't true
Despite numerous instances proving the contrary
And I can't find one good reason for staying
Struggling to find a valid reason to stay
Maybe by leaving would be the best for you
Considering that leaving might be the best choice for your well-being
But these rose colored glasses
Referring to the optimistic and idealistic perspective
That I'm looking through
Currently adopting
Show only the beauty
Revealing only the positive aspects
'Cause they hide all the truth
Because they conceal the harsh reality
And they let me hold on to the good times, the good lines
Allowing me to cling to the enjoyable moments and pleasant memories
The ones I used to hear when I held you
Recalling the sweet words and expressions from the past
And they keep me from feeling so cheated, defeated
Preventing me from experiencing feelings of being deceived or overcome
When reflections in your eyes show me a fool
When the reflection in your eyes reveals my foolishness
These rose colored glasses
Describing the optimistic viewpoint currently adopted
That I'm looking through
Currently embracing
Show only the beauty
Displaying only the positive and beautiful aspects
'Cause they hide all the truth
Since they obscure the painful and unpleasant truths
So I just keep on hopin', believing
Persisting in hope and belief
That maybe by counting the many times, I've tried
Suggesting that by recounting the numerous attempts, belief may be instilled
You'll believe me when I say, I love you
Expressing a desire for you to trust my proclamation of love
And I'll lay these rose colored glasses aside
Committing to set aside the optimistic facade and face reality
