True Colors Lyrics

True Colors lyrics

(Wetton/Downes)

This evening really came as some surprise
It showed me just how little faith
I think back when you couldn't criticize
You sure were glad to see my face

But now your TRUE COLORS are giving away
^^^ ^^^ ^^^^             ^^^   ( not on album )
 your lies
TRUE COLORS seeing them in your eyes

Chorus

For you the tables [sic] turned full circle now
And all those people you call friends
See who defends you when you're down again
Don't count on money-spinners then

They could be my TRUE COLORS maybe
^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^ ^^ ( not on album )
 you'll see them then
TRUE COLORS twisting the knife again

Chorus

You did what you wanted to do
I lived to fight another day
I know what I want you to do, [just] pack your bags
                            (  ^^^^ in song, not liner )
     and get away
