Rosy Glasses
Unveiling Heartbreak: Rosy Glasses and Bittersweet Dreams
Lyrics
I'm not mad I wish I was
I don't feel anger; I wish I did
'Cause they all say hate is the antidote to love
People suggest that hatred can counteract love
I'm not mad you walked away
I'm not upset that you left
Just wish you had the guts to say it
Desire for you to have been honest about it
Gotta look away
Need to avert my gaze
'Cause my rosy glasses fetishizing the past and
My tendency to romanticize the past through optimistic lenses
Gotta look away
Must look away due to
'Cause my nerve endings raw with saccharine dreams
Raw sensitivity from overly sweet dreams
Wish I saw it coming
Regret for not foreseeing the situation
Could've hopped the train
Could have escaped the impending emotional turmoil
And started running
Fleeing with my pride and ego intact
With my pride and my ego in tow
Carrying self-respect and self-worth
As if I had some place to go
As if I had a destination in mind
But instead you hit me when I was down
Instead, you hurt me when I was vulnerable
But instead you socked me in the gut
Instead, you attacked me emotionally
Arms up eyes shut
Defensive posture with eyes closed
Gotta look away
Must turn away from
'Cause my rosy glasses fetishizing the past and
My inclination to idealize the past
Gotta look away
Must look away due to
'Cause my nerve endings raw with saccharine dreams
Sensitivity intensified by overly sweet dreams
On the day
Referring to the day
Before you walked away
Before you departed
I was happy
I was content
I was happy with someone who wasn't
I was happy with someone different
What does that say about me
Raising questions about my character
Can't stop staring straight into the sun
Unable to look away from the harsh truth
My eyes red leading my body dumb
Eyes tired and body unresponsive
Gotta look away
Must avert my gaze due to
'Cause my rosy glasses obscuring the fact that
My inclination to idealize the past
You just walked away
You simply left, and I must look away from
And my nerve endings feeding on old dreams
Sensitivity heightened by old dreams
