[Verse 1]
I wrote a book of all the things that go on in my head
I burnt it whole, so no one would ever think those things again
I wore my old school uniform to see how much I'd grown
I needed to get out of my perspective, the only one that I've ever known

[Chorus]
So I'll try singing about the colours I never knew I'd love
I can't bring any flowers, but I could bring the mud

[Verse 2]
I grow out my hair to count out each day
And I hoped you'd be aware of the things I didn't think to say
Like, "Your eyes could light up a whole room
And I'm kind of getting tired of being blinded by the thought of you"

[Chorus]
So I'll try singing about the colours I never knew I'd love
I can't bring any flowers, but I could bring the mud
'Cause I've been burying myself alive, trying to call it quits
I sure as hell have burnt the boat down, but I won't jump ship

[Outro]
My heart leapt when I came home to the silence
'Cause I haven't spent enough time in the quiet
And yes, I like spending time with people who aren't me
But I'm getting kind of tired only being happy
