Colors are colors they're colors
Even when they're black and white
Days are days
Even when they're black as night
Sorrow is sorrow
It doesn't have to tear you apart
And tomorrow's tomorrow
So come on baby let's start
Colors are colors are colors
Even when you're seeing red
Feelings are feelings
They're all just in your head
A tool's a tool
Even when it's a knife
And pain's a pain
But it let's you know you're alive
Things are what they are
Sometimes they're so much more
You think you see a wall
But maybe it's a door
Colors are colors they're colors
Even when you're black and blue
And lies are lies
Especially when they're true
Mistakes are mistakes
There's no use in regret
The past is past
So just try to forget
Things could be much less
Than what you think they are
A speck of dust in your eye
You say you're seeing stars
You want something to hold
Even just a prayer
You try to act so cool
To hide how much you care
If you wanna see the world
You gotta see all the colors
You just can't choose to see some
And not all the others
If you wanna see a blue sky
You're gonna have to see some black
And if you want to move forward
You're gonna have to stop looking back
