Color me,
Color me in red-
For every single time I've wished you dead-
Dye me,
Oh dye me in blue-
Cause I'm so sad without you-
Paint me,
Paint me in black-
So I can try to take my love back!-
But draw me,
Draw me in white-
For I'm just a shell-
Of myself-
In the night-

(chorus)
Go on now but-
You can't change me,
You can't change me,
So don't even try-
Cause I know that
Hope is life's sweetest poison-
And love,
Just a bitter lie!-
Go on now but,
You can't change me,
You can't change me!
It don't matter,
Caus in the end-
I'm still too scared to forget you,
But too brave to keep on waiting!-

Carve my heart,
Oh carve it out of stone-
So that I'll be strong enough to stand on my own-
Cast my eyes,
Oh cast them in steel-
So I can forget all the pain I feel!-
Mold my soul out of clay-
So I can wash everything away!-
But please,
For my sake-
Don't pick up the pieces,
When I break!-

(chorus)
Go on now but-
You can't change me,
You can't change me,
So don't even try-
Cause I know that
Hope is life's sweetest poison-
And love,
Just a bitter lie!-
Go on now but,
You can't change me,
You can't change me!
It don't matter,
Cause in the end-
I'm still too scared to forget you,
But too brave to keep on waiting!-

I've tried to let you go-
But my heart refuses to move on!-
Oh I ask myself,
Every night!-
What's the point,
If you're already gone?!-

Go on now but-
You can't change me,
You can't change me,
So don't even try-
Cause I know that
Hope is life's sweetest poison,
And love-
Just a bitter lie!-
Go on but,
You'll never change me,
You'll never change me!-
You never had to try-
Cause hope just kills me,
And I can't change a lie-
This one is basically a Shoujo manga set-up, with more of a Josei feel (shoujo is a classic manga for girls and Josei is for older women, as in, 17+). A girl falls in love with her bestfriend, he has to move out of necessitty, and she never tells him how she feels. Aftterwords she feels like cr@p and can't seem to do anything. Her friend was a really good artist, so she starts to imagine what she'd ask him to make her of.



Between highschool, clubs, laundry, and cooking (:iconchefplz: head chef at my house!) I've been lucky to have enough time to sleep (which I don't, so I'm a perpetual :zombie:), let alone even check my inbox! Therefore, I sincerely apologize to anyone who's been sending me anything at all :innocent:.

Since you commented my work I thought I'd return the favor :) This song is absolutely beautiful. It's simple and easy enough to relate to. The concrete rhythm you have aallows me to actual imagine music behind the words. Good job! Please, keep it up! I'd love to read more of your work!
