colorblind

the skies turned pink the night you left
maybe something beautiful would come from it
tell me you love me one more time
before it's all wiped from my mind

and now that you've had time to miss me
I hoped you'd come home
not feel the same
we walked together to the carpark
as if there was something left to say

I squeezed your hand
you flinched
the skies turned black
I blinked
I never practiced my goodbyes
I didn't think that I had to

now you're gone I'm colorblind
nothing lights up the sky
so numb that I can't cry
so numb I can't cry

you said that if you died you'd haunt me
but now you're nowhere to be found
we said forever was a bottle of wine
but then we left it somewhere else

I squeezed your hand
you flinched
the skies turned black
I blinked
I never practiced my goodbyes
I didn't think that I had to

now you're gone I'm colorblind
nothing lights up the sky
so numb that I can't cry
so numb I can't cry

now you're gone I'm colorblind
nothing lights up the sky
so numb that I can't cry
so numb I can't cry
