Couldn't hold you for long
Guess the distance looked better than me I could only try so
Hard to get close
To you

Now you're out with someone Who is far more holy than me Does she make you feel pure Safe and secure
And new

I was chasing
The thrill of changing your mind Hung up, wasting

I thought you saw me like a Rothko
But you didn't even see me at all
Now I know I was only ever confusing to you

I thought you saw me like a Rothko
But you didn't even see me at all
Now I know I was only ever confusing, confusing to you

I remember the days when I thought we'd go the same way Yeah but when you're nineteen
It's all so easy
To lose

I was chasing
The thrill of changing your mind
Hung up, wasting

I thought you saw me like a Rothko
But you didn't even see me at all
Now I know I was only ever confusing to you

I thought you saw me like a Rothko
But you didn't even see me at all
Now I know I was only ever confusing, confusing to you

I always thought that you saw me like a Rothko
I always thought that you saw me like a Rothko
I thought you saw me like a Rothko
But you didn't even see me at all
Now I know I was only ever confusing to you
I thought you saw me like a Rothko
But you didn't even see me at all
Now I know I was only ever confusing, confusing to you
