[Verse 1]

It was fun playin' with knives

Until a blade stuck in the left side of my chest

Surprise

I'm not down again

I turned the page

The story's mine

No more watchin' the world from my doorstep passin' me by

(Passin' me by)

[Pre-Chorus]

And I’ll just keep changin' these colors, colors, colors, colors

I'm not in the same place that I was, I was, I was, I was

[Chorus]

But if somebody tells me I'll go back to my old ways

I'm gonna say "no way"

I'm out of the doorway

I'm hearin' them all say I'll go back to my old ways

Not goin' back to my old ways

[Post-Chorus]

Not goin' back to my old ways

(Not goin' back to my old ways)

[Verse 2]

Now I know what's good for me

All that I need

And I can't wait to sink my teeth in and take another bite

And the best part about it is I'm the only one who can do somethin' about it

I fill the well with some water, it's overflowin'

Black into gold

Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfolds?

[Pre-Chorus]

And I’ll just keep changin' these colors, colors, colors, colors

I'm not in the same place that I was, I was, I was, I was

[Chorus]

But if somebody tells me I'll go back to my old ways

I'm gonna say "no way"

I'm out of the doorway

I'm hearin' them all say I'll go back to my old ways

Not goin' back to my old ways

[Post-Chorus]

Not goin' back to my old ways

(Not goin' back to my old ways)

[Bridge]

Every scar

The flames burnt them all

I'm not afraid to fall

I'm spiralin’, I'm spiralin’

I pass the stars

I'm not burning out

I'm not afraid to fall

I'm not afraid anymore

[Breakdown]

And I just keep changin' my colors

I'm not in the same place that I was, I was

(And the best part about it is I'm the only who can do somethin' about it

I fill the well with some water, it's overflowin')

Black into gold

Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfolds?

[Pre-Chorus]

And I just keep changin' (changin') these colors, colors, colors, colors

I'm not in the same place (same place) that I was, I was, I was, I was

[Chorus]

But if somebody tells me I'll go back to my old ways (old ways)

I'm gonna say "no way" (no way)

I'm out of the doorway (no way)

I'm hearin' them all say I'll go back to my old ways

Not goin' back to my old ways
