It's a one-way world that I'm looking at
It's a heartless state I'm in
It's a nervous time and because of that
I stay right where I've been
A hundred dreams getting carried away
That won't be dreamed again
When something's wrong
And you've known it all along
It's easier to pretend
I need a pair of rose-colored gla**es
To see it all in a different light
I need a pair of rose-colored gla**es
I'm sick of seeing the world in black and white
I need a pair of rose-colored gla**es
It's a dead-end street I've been running down
To a hardline place I've come
It's a lonely drive through a broken town
No matter where you're from
And one more heart getting buried alive
Don't misunderstand
When you can't breathe, getting weaker in the knees
You hide your head in the sand
I need a pair of rose-colored gla**es
To see it all in a different light
I need a pair of rose-colored gla**es
I'm sick of seeing the world in black and white
I need a pair of rose-colored gla**es
But if I saw the world as perfect
I'd no longer care
So smash the gla** and throw them out
'Cause I don't want to wear
Rose-colored gla**es
Rose-colored gla**es
I need a pair of rose-colored gla**es
To see it all in a different light
I need a pair of rose-colored gla**es
I'm sick of seeing the world in black and white
I need a pair of rose-colored gla**es
Rose-colored gla**es
Rose-colored gla**es
Rose-colored gla**es
