I should have known this time That you couldn't hold me right If you've got the move You don't need my love What happened to you? I've covered up the signs That tingle in words and pride When your world comes through I'll be left in mind What happened to you? I don't wanna raise white flags or empire But I can breathe in shades of blue I can keep surrendering all the time But when you're beating me in shades of blue Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh You said these things take time But silence gives quick replies Is that true In loving your heart? Or have I been imposed? I don't wanna raise white flags or empire But I can breathe in shades of blue I can keep surrendering all the time But when you're beating me in shades of blue Wasted my days in the chains While you kept me at reach Hoping you'd change all your ways And you'd pull me out the blue Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh I don't wanna raise white flags or empire But I can breathe in shades of blue I can keep surrendering all the time But when you're beating me in shades of blue Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
