Chameleon Boy (History For Sale 2003)

Текст песни Blue October - Chameleon Boy (History For Sale 2003)

[Verse 1:]
I changed my color for you
I shed my coat with caution
I lack the beauty you display
See here, there are the bruises
And some were self-inflicted
And some showed up along the way
So I nod my head
I'm ready for the world to see
The secret I kept here
Inside the man you thought I'd be
Slip into coma calm
The coma where I calm myself down
Here comes excuses why I let you down

[Chorus:]
Stand by for another breakdown
Sound off the alarm
Is this the chameleon boy I swore I wouldn't become?
Chameleon boy
Chameleon boy

[Verse 2:]
So now we've come upon
The hardest thing I've ever done
It's telling you that I'm a mess
What sort of mess, I mean
Is self-destructive gasoline
The kind that strips you of your best
And while I play instead
The way that most would end up dead
You sleep alone at home
And wish that I was in our bed
With this, I'm telling you
My color changes back to blue
How do I ask you this
Will you help me through?
[Chorus:]
Stand by for another breakdown
Sound off the alarm
Is this the chameleon boy I swore I wouldn't become?
Stand by for another breakdown
Sound off the alarm
Is this the chameleon boy I swore I wouldn't become?
Chameleon boy
Chameleon boy

[Verse 3:]
I try to think of all the people I looked up to
Or growing up, who would I be?
Now the twisted part
Where did all my idols end up?
They've all passed away
Passed away

[Outro:]
Stand by, it's the chameleon boy
Stand by, it's the chameleon boy
Chameleon boy
I'm the chameleon boy
Chameleon boy
I'm the chameleon boy
