I met hell, walking on two legs
Blue eyes, big smile and the brightest face
I fell in deep, but my trust was misplaced
An open love, 'til he needed space
I'm not here to wait around
Won't stand in line, stare at the ground
I need a solid answer from you
Never was a game, neither one of us was ahead
Said what I wanted to hear, but not what you felt instead
I paid attention to everything you said
And when you saw black and white, I saw infrared
Oh, I saw infrared, in-infrared
Infrared, in-infrared
Infrared, in-infrared
Had my doubts at first, but then you grew on me
Ignored all others who clearly didn't see
Who you were, hun, I learned that love isn't cheap
It took the cost of heartbreak, I wish you weren't so care-free
I'm not here to wait around
Won't stand in line, stare at the ground
I need a solid answer from you
Never was a game, neither one of us was ahead
Said what I wanted to hear, but not what you felt instead
I paid attention to everything you said
And when you saw black and white, I saw infrared
Oh, I saw infrared, in-infrared
Infrared, in-infrared
Infrared, in-infrared
I'm the first to admit that I made some mistakes, oh, I know it's true
But underneath all of my walls, I still cared for you
The time spent together outside of our minds was long overdue
But next thing I know, I turn around and you say we're through
I'm not here to wait around
Won't stand in line, stare at the ground
I got my solid answer from you
Never was a game, neither one of us was ahead (I saw infrared)
Said what I wanted to hear, but not what you felt instead (I saw, I saw)
I paid attention to everything you said
And when you saw black and white, I saw infrared
Oh, I saw infrared, in-infrared
Infrared, in-infrared
Incra, in-infrared
