I Tried
I tried to paint the World pink,
but all that showed was black.
Tried to think not to think
and to old thoughts i'll never look back.
Sure, I'm not happy but no need to be saved,
just put on your smile and give a nice wave.
Walk away with a tear and a thought of goodbye,
its all so fake so why even try?
I tried to paint you pink and now you're beautiful,
tried to paint myself pink,
but the black bled through it all.
