“Shades” by Little Brazil
Take off your coat and show me a frown
‘Cause I know you have a lot on your mind
It’s understandable that you’re fed up with me
Let’s be honest
I’m driving you away
From this life you dreamt that you’d always have
I’m your excuse for you to get so fall-down-drunk
Just to come home pointing your finger and shaking your head
You stop me at the door to remind me what you’re doing this for
I’m leaving you so I can be more myself
Not this person that you dreamed up
I don’t wanna live my life blaming you
For imperfections and the baggage I have
I guess I’ll always live my life in a shadow
The sun must have no light for me
Why can’t we just open up the shades?
Why can’t we just rip open the shades?
Why can’t we just lift up all the shades?
Why can’t we just tear down all the shades?
‘Cause that’s too much to ask of you love
It’s mine and only my curse to live with
It’s not as bad as it seems
I guess I’m used to it
And don’t worry
I’m better off alone
The sky is opening to me
I guess it’s my turn to be happy
Like a dream I have never had
Wait, I see a storm coming
Coming in
