You chose the colour grey for my last birthday
And I was not surprised by the party
Now I'm no open book
But I had shared enough
You got me questioning if you really know me
You asked me"red or white?"
So I told you a lie
Had to ensure that you would get it right
Is it embarrassing that you're not listening?
You'd even fail to spell out trophy wife
On the wrong day and the wrong shade
How could you represent me using the colour grey?
I'll make a lucky guess
Is it because instead
There's no mention of my name inside your head?
Even the wrong name would not leave me amazed
I'm falling into the habit of being ashamed
So baby waste away
Maybe I'll write a play
And you'll be the perfect protagonist
I'll tell you when and where
But you won't make it there
You got me questioning if it's really worth it
You'll never learn your lines
So I told you a lie
Made you think that this was your spotlight
Is it embarrassing to think you're everything?
You'd even let me down on my biggest night
On the wrong day and the wrong shade
How could you represent me using the colour grey?
And now you've made a mess
Because you failed my test
Let me down quickly so I drop dead
Will you say my name?
Will it be your main?
Now I'm in the habit of being ashamed
Tell me that I'm wrong
Tell me you can fall
Tell me this is all a big misunderstanding
Everybody here is a part of my career
I want you to be here
But not because I'm asking
Keep your voice down
People look around
I'm haunting your ghosts who've haunted my past year
I'll turn away and leave you to stay
Running from your redemption
After the time
You chose the colour grey
On New Year's Day
And I can't help but think it's symbolic
Now you're an open book
And I have seen enough
Made me question if you're really worth it
I'm kind of on your side
You never told a lie
You really did get lost in your paradise
Is it embarrassing to lose everything?
Cause baby now you'll only see me walking
