Rose Tinted Lenses

My rose-tinted lenses get me through the day My world isn’t plagued by the white, black, or gray Just rose My rose-tinted lenses show me only love Not any hate like the kind you hear of Who knows? My rose-tinted lenses made me “naive” They say I only saw what I believed I suppose… My rose-tinted lenses make all flags red Which is probably why I didn’t see her in the bed Her clothes My rose-tinted lenses hid your deceit How could I have missed, I’d already been beat So exposed My rose-tinted lenses aren’t even real They were made up to help me deal I oppose I believed you would change I should’ve known that was out of your range Just shows My rose-tinted lenses have turned red with defeat I’ll admit I’ve been beat Your betrayal was indiscreet But our story’s incomplete We’ll wait and we’ll see How rose-colored lenses provide what I need
