[Verse 1]
I should have known this time
That you couldn't hold me right
If you've got the moon you don't need my light
What am I to you?
I've covered up these signs
That tangle in words and wine
When your world comes through
I’ll be left in mine
What am I to you?

[Chorus]
I don't wanna raise white flags up high
When all I can breathe are shades of blue
I can't keep surrendering my time
When you're feeding me these shades of blue

[Verse 2]
You said these things take time
But silence gives quick replies
Is there any truth
In loving your high
Or have I been used?

[Chorus]
I don't wanna raise white flags up high
When all I can breathe are shades of blue
I can't keep surrendering my time
When you're feeding me these shades of blue
[Bridge]
Wasted my days in the chase
While you kept me at reach
Hoping you'd change all your ways
And you'd pull me out the blue

[Chorus]
I don't wanna raise white flags up high
When all I can breathe are shades of blue
I can't keep surrendering my time
When you're feeding me these shades of blue
