Rose-colored glasses

Verse 1

Before I saw what’s real,

I was living through rose-colored glasses.

Everything felt so easy,

smiles were endless, no heavy passes.

Pre-Chorus

But I was down on my knees,

searching for a trace of me.

It took so long,

but I kept holding on.

Chorus

Now I know nothing lasts forever,

what you hold today can fade away.

Life is more than rose-colored glasses,

it’s the fire and the cold that makes you stay.

Verse 2

A year went by, I can breathe again,

I’m twenty-two, and I’ve found my way.

My room was an escape from the night,

I was hiding, turning from the day.

Pre-Chorus

But I learned what comes can leave,

what you dream, you might not keep.

And in the dark,

I found my spark.

Chorus

Now I know nothing lasts forever,

what you hold today can fade away.

Life is more than rose-colored glasses,

it’s the fire and the cold that makes you stay.

Bridge

I’ve seen the beauty in the fragile,

in every moment slipping fast.

It’s not the promise of tomorrow,

but the freedom in knowing it won’t last.

Final Chorus

Now I know nothing lasts forever,

what you hold today can fade away.

Life is more than rose-colored glasses,

it’s the fire and the cold that lights the way.
