I used to have colors like the sky
They could light up any day
Nothing too far, no mountain too high
I always found a way
Yeah my best was enough to get me through the day
Oh, but I don't know why, my colors started to fade
I remember my father told me "Son you're not looking so well"
"The flowers stopped calling your name on the back of the wind of the valley smell"
"And I can see it in your eyes that this ain't the real you
"So just take a little time, but come back, I miss you"
He said "You used to shine bright with the colors of the rainbow"
"Never lookin back 'cause you said the world was too slow"
"And you'd always dream to change the world someday"
"But now you're just gray"
Now I feel chained and lost in life, and I swear I'm in too deep
Oh I'm just so tired all the time, no matter how much I sleep
Now my best ain't enough, so why do I even try?
Everyone's got it all figured out, but I'm still lost in the tide
I remember my best friend told me, "Hey I know you say that you're fine"
"But something's wrong 'cause the dance of your soul used to outshine the glow of the town skyline"
"And I know that it might seem like there's nothing you can do"
"But just hold on to my hand tight, sleep now, I got you"
She said, "We used to shine bright with the colors of the rainbow
Never lookin back, 'cause we said the world was too slow
And we'd always dream to change the world someday
But now you're just gray"
Now I can look at myself and see what I used to be
Like when the mean kid at school found out that he red you dead wrong
'Cause you still loved him when his heart was cold
You'd ride hands up in the back seat and yellow, yellow
And remember at your games when you blue them all away?
Before you turned gray
But I remember shining bright with the colors of the rainbow
Never lookin back 'cause I knew the world was too slow
And I'd always dream to change the world someday
But now I'm just gray
I used to shine bright
But I forget, I forget, I forget what was mine
Gotta get these colors back someday
But for now I'm just gray
