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
