[Verse 1]

I painted it blue, it reminds me of you

Blue like the skies that I saw in your eyes

But I pictured them red as you dwelled in my head

As you—

[Chorus]

I look over my shoulder, look back into your eyes

And drifting away, I've got nothing to say

My hands were tied, my hands were tied

[Verse 2]

Remember the first flash of anger?

I watched as they clouded to grey

As I saw you grow cold, found my sap pour away

And I swallowed my pride

Swallowed my pride, swallowed my pride

Stemmed the anger inside

When it died

[Verse 3]

I stand in the shadows, look up at the sky

Not to remember the passing of time

Surrounded by ether, I almost forget that you

[Chorus]

I look over my shoulder, look back into your eyes

And drifting away, I've got nothing to say

My hands were tied, my hands were tied
