Rose Colored Glasses

Got some rose-colored glasses And they’re messing with my brain. I’m not sure things are clearer Or if I have gone insane. I had thought I understood the world And that I could trust my eyes But I’m looking through these lenses And I fear I’m seeing lies. Got some rose-colored glasses To correct what I perceive. ‘Cause for my entire life I’m told I have been deceived. I believed that I was well informed And could not be surprised, But I’m looking through these lenses And I now don’t trust my eyes. Got some rose-colored glasses Now I cannot understand How I made it all these years With an outlook that’s so bland. I’m uncertain, now, what to believe All the what’s, the when’s, the why’s ‘Cause I’m looking through these lenses And it’s like I’ve got new eyes.
