lyrics

That I could ever be so wrong
An idea I entertained too long
It’s true, I gave so much to you
And I can’t say I’ll miss you or the awful things you do

I was desperate
But I should have seen this coming
Knowing what I know of you

Now when
I look out at the sea that surrounds us
Gray and dirty though it may be
I know
I’ll escape from this rose-colored prison
And find a place where I’m finally free

A shame I can’t remember much
My mom’s birthday or what I had for lunch
I never hid my flaws from you
But I did hide my anger, and it gave you time to stew

And if I’d known
You’re the type to hold a grudge, then
I’d have saved some ammo too

Now when
I look out at the sea that surrounds us
Gray and dirty though it may be
I know
I’ll escape from this rose-colored prison
And find a place where I’m finally free
(Isn’t it ironic?)

It’s ironic
This sounds like the type of conflict
Normally reserved for lovers
But I’m happy
To consider this the end
Of my time with the world’s worst friend

Now when
I look out at the sea that surrounds us
Gray and dirty though it may be
I know
I’ll escape from this rose-colored prison
And find a place where I’m finally free
