[Verse 1]

Felt like life was so dark and dreary whenever you weren't near me

Made me think I was oh so happy

Roller coaster climbing up like we don't know soon it'll be falling

But it kept lifting me, and I felt so free, seemed never ending

Felt like you were my other half, the piece that was missing

Made me think that without you I wasn't me, like I was incomplete

'Cause you were addicting, like nicotine, capturing and trapping me

[Pre-Chorus]

That's just what he wanted me to see

He'd never really live up to what he wanted me to think

[Chorus]

'Cause the rose colored version was all I could see

My fault for falling for your effect

Found me in my low and manipulated me to block the feeling

Distracted me from the pain already in my head

Oh, you intoxicated me like you were truly what I saw

Through a rose colored lense

But it was a lie, every word you said

Rose colored, rose colored, rose colored lense

[Verse 2]

Just walk away now, never look back

Never show how he left you cracked

Trashed, crazy, angry, permanently mad

And now you're ghosting, blocking, and ignoring

Guess I'll do the same, go cold turkey

But it's all coming back now and I'm drowning

[Pre-Chorus]

Trapped was what he wanted me to be

He wasn't ever going to be what he made me see, oh

[Chorus]

'Cause the rose colored version was all I could see

My fault for falling for your effect

Found me in my low and manipulated me to block the feeling

Distracted me from the pain already in my head

Oh, you intoxicated me like you were truly what I saw

Through a rose colored lense

But it was a lie, every word you said

Rose colored, rose colored, rose colored lense

[Pre-Chorus]

Looking back I'm just worried I lose a piece of myself

When I was stuck with you in a disguised hell

[Alt-Chorus]

Your rose color version was what I believed

My fault for falling for your effect

I should've been smarter and taken time to think

Read between the lines of every bullshit lie you said

Rose colored, rose colored, rose colored lense

Oh, I could only see the fake you through a rose colored lense
