She put on her rose-tinted glasses
And picked up her bag
Said, "Guess I'll see you around"
Empty words with no commitment
From someone no longer tied down
I guess rose is the color you want to see
When you finally open your eyes
And blue
Blue is the color of goodbye
You remember her voice like a rainstorm
Falling all around you
But her words were lost in the mist
With all the things you're trying to remember
Like the last time the two of you kissed
I guess gray is the color of fading echoes
All jumbled up in your mind
And blue
Blue is the color of goodbye
You pull the drapes across the window
And shut the door tight
Searching for a piece of the dark
Trying to create an empty space
So it looks like the place in your heart
I guess black is the color you paint your soul
As you disappear in the night
And blue
Blue is the color of goodbye
I guess blue
Blue is the color of goodbye
