When I first met you I was blue
When I first met you I was green and so were you
Those early days when everything felt right
How was I supposed to know the future wasn't bright?
I still remember your first lies
Those yellow stories made me feel black inside
And I imagined when you called me from his bed
Your lips oh so red as you turned around and said
'Oh don't say good bye I only told you white lies'
No I would never lie to you
I only hurt you cos my heart was black and blue
A fine performance by the girl who always knew how to fake it
I remember golden leaves
Turning brown as I went down on one knee
Almost blue that little diamond ring
We were in the Autumn pretending it was spring
But in the end I let it go
There's just no point in chasing a rainbow
And looking back I guess that you could say
I lost a lot of green but gained a little grey
'Oh don't say good bye I only told you white lies'
No I would never lie to you
I only hurt you cos my heart was black and blue
A fine performance by the girl who always knew
How to fake it in the way that some girls do
