[Verse 1]
You hide your smile in your sweater sleeve
Say
"I’m fine" though your eyes won’t agree
You change your hair every other week
But never say what you really need
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve seen you laughing in the mirror
Then you turn away
Like all your colors are too much for this grayscale place
Why are you shrinking just to fit inside their tiny frame?
I know your name
I know your flame
[Chorus]
Show me your true colours
Let them run wild over me (oh yeah)
Paint up the sky
Lovers
We’re not afraid to be seen
Red like the rush in my heartbeat
Blue when you’re holding me close
Gold when you’re chasing your daydreams
Stay just like that
Don’t you ever turn cold
Show me your
Show me your
True colours
[Verse 2]
You fold your dreams like old receipts
Stuffed in the pocket of your ripped blue jeans
You only dance with the curtains closed
But I’ve seen sparks in the way you glow
[Pre-Chorus]
You say you’re "too much
" then you dim
But I can feel the light
Every secret little shade you hide is coming out tonight
Why are you waiting for permission just to live your life?
Take my hand now
We’ll stand out loud
[Chorus]
Show me your true colours
Let them run wild over me (hey!)
Paint up the sky
Lovers
We’re not afraid to be seen
Red like the rush in my heartbeat
Blue when you’re holding me close
Gold when you’re chasing your daydreams
Stay just like that
Don’t you ever turn cold
Show me your
Show me your
True colours
[Bridge]
If you’re breaking
Break in every shade you are
All your aching
Looks like art from where we are
If they call it "too bright"
We’ll turn up the daylight
You and I
No highlights
All of you is just right (just right)
[Chorus]
Show me your true colours
Let them run wild over me
Paint up the sky
Lovers
We’re not afraid to be seen
Red like the rush in my heartbeat
Blue when you’re holding me close
Gold when you’re chasing your daydreams
Stay just like that
Don’t you ever turn cold
Show me your
Show me your
True colours
Show me your
Show me your
True colours
