I painted it blue It reminds me of you Blue like the skies that I saw in your eyes But I pictured them red as you dwelled in my head As you I look over my shoulder Look back into your eyes And drifting away I've got nothing to say My hands are tied My hands are tied They're tied Remember the first flash of anger I watched as they clouded to grey As I saw you grow cold Found my sap pour away And I swallowed my pride Swallowed my pride Swallowed my pride Stemmed the anger inside When it died I stand in the shadows Look up at the sky Not to remember The passing of time Surrounded by ether I almost forget that you I look over my shoulder Look back into your eyes And drifting away I've got nothing to say My hands were tied My hands were tied
