It was fun playin' with knives
Until a blade
Stuck in the left side of my chest
Surprise
And I'm down again, I turn the page
The story's mine
No more watchin' the world from my doorstep
Passin' me byAnd I just keep changin'
These colors, colors, colors, colors
I'm not in the same place
That I was, I was, I was, I wasBut 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 waysNot goin' back to my old ways
(Not goin' back to my old ways)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 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 blindfoldsAnd 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 wasBut 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 waysNot goin' back to my old ways
(Not goin' back to my old ways)Every scar
The flames burn the mark
I'm not afraid to fall
I'm spiraling
I'm spiraling
I pass the stars
I'm not burning out
I'm not afraid to fall
I'm not afraid anymoreAnd I just keep changin' my colors
I'm not in the same place that I was, I wasAnd 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 blindfoldsAnd I just keep changin'
These colors, colors, colors, colors
I'm not in the same place
That I was, I was, I was, I wasBut 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
