This shade of you Is never going to prove What you're about You changed your hue so long ago But you walked out Before I let you know I saw you in passing All on your own in mid-July You looked like a friend I had once in another life When I thought back on us in the past I played the fool for thinking I knew who you wanted to be You then turned your back on me Never once thinking twice This shade of you Is never going to prove What you're about You changed your hue so long ago But you walked out Before I let you know I feel like you want to speak But your tongue has been tied Soon I'll be gone again In the blink of your eye Do your new friends know who you were Back when you really meant The things that you had chose to believe I can't help but think your wrong Please don't let me be right This shade of you Is never going to prove What you're about You changed your hue so long ago But you walked out Before I let you know This shade of you Has got me feeling blue But I feel you now I guess I'll never understand Why you walked out Before I had the chance This shade of you Is never going to prove What you're about You changed your hue so long ago But you walked out Before I let you know
