Red

Lyric saw you once in a red dress and suddenly the world went quiet like every broken part of me finally found something beautiful i didn’t know your name back then still don’t think i ever will but somehow you stayed in my head longer than anyone else did red used to be my favorite color now it just hurts a little more ‘cause in my mind you were already mine walking through city lights your fingers tangled up in mine and every little dream of us felt warmer than the life i had like i was standing at the top of happiness for a moment but morning always comes too soon and reality hurts worse than usual ‘cause i can’t even say that i love you i made a home inside my thoughts where you would laugh and stay beside me where lonely nights didn’t exist and silence couldn’t find me but dreams are only dreams, i guess they disappear when eyes open and all i’m left with is your red dress and this heavy chest maybe loving you quietly was the only way i could keep you even if it was never real ‘cause in my mind you were already mine dancing underneath street lights looking at me like i mattered and i hate how something so beautiful became the reason i can’t breathe sometimes now red’s just the color of pain i carry every night all because i was too afraid to tell you i loved you saw you once in a red dress and i never really moved on since
