This is, I guess, the lead track from my debut EP 'This Scissor Disaster. Recorded in my living room.
lyrics
You can colour me in,
I've been standing in the rain
Soaking up all this dirty pain.
You don't know where I've been,
All my colour's dripped away and left an ugly shade of grey.
Won't you take out all your brushes and your paints?
I've got a broken little frown
That just needs you to turn it round.
I swear I'll do whatever it takes,
I promise that I will not touch and I'll keep still so it won't smudge.
Oh I swore that I'd make everything ok
But I've been struggling with myself
working out what it is I hate
And I try so hard to make this go away.
I'd scratch my heart a million times
just to make sure that yours won't break.
