A Killing In Color

I hold my breath until I turn blue Swim across the ocean to get back to you I slit my wrist till its bloody red Would you love me more, if I cut my throat instead? I dug a grave big enough for two The black of night hides all the clues The storm is coming the skies turn gray Do you see what you’ve done, looking at my face? I loved you more then you ever knew All these purple bruises speak the truth Dangerous love is all I have ever known Dressed in all white your mind gets blown You were such liar, a phony and a cheat I can never change my color to make you stay with me I was green with envy, I was so insecure I was under your spell, but nevermore
