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
