Colours Fade

They never fall asleep before me
But they don’t know
That waking up too early
Feels like traffic in the summer heat

This time will be different
I promise
This one won’t get broken
Quicker than red leaves fall
This song will be better
Than all I’ve done
I keep saying
This song will be better
Than all I’ve done before

But if happy ever after’s only
Acceptance
Should I keep searching for a balance
Or should I just wait until
The colours fade away
