I've been waiting a while Where the sun burnt the sea Was I down when you wanted me to be? Tell me which of your lies, Was I meant to believe? Oh, was I down when you wanted me to be? Well hold me in your arms I'm in the eye of the storm Tell me we're not coming here no more Oh you hurt, you hurt me again I'm sure And you paint me the same pretty picture as before And it's beautiful 'til the colors run It's beautiful 'til the colors run I'll be sailing away Though you warned me to stay As the face that you see in the sky I've been bound and alone I trace the chains to your throne Was I down when you wanted me to be? Well let's go fly a plane and when it breaks we'll fly a kite But I'm not going up this isn't right Oh you hurt, you hurt me again I'm sure And you paint me the same pretty picture as before And it's beautiful 'til the colors run It's beautiful You're the ghost of childhood who haunts the bay Well on the rocks where I once stood a blue guitar I played In the empty parking lot and in the old arcade With my hands tied in a knot of promises we've made Oh you hurt, you hurt me again I'm sure And you paint me the same pretty picture as before And it's beautiful 'til the colors run It's beautiful 'til the colors run It's beautiful
