Pour you in my vein
Open me up inside
Only thing holds us back is time
So rob me of my pride
Take away my pain
Cause the minutes you'll never find
Always lost in the rain
Have I left you behind

Cause I'm just a darker shade of you
And you're a paler shade of blue
And you, you always leave too soon
Forever lost in the light of the moon
A darker shade of you

So come around when you can
Make my heart bleed blue again
There's nothing left for us to do
We'll just keep our heads in the sand
I saw you come with the wind
I been waiting here for you
If we could only make time bend
Our colors wouldn't be so blue

Cause I'm just a darker shade of you
And you're a paler shade of blue
And you, you always leave too soon
Forever lost in the light of the moon
A darker shade of you

How much longer can this last
All the love you left bypassed
You would never change the facts
Filling your heart up like glass
Nothing can be removed
We're not made without the unapproved
Though the troubles always grew
Without them we won't be true

Cause I'm just a darker shade of you
And you're a paler shade of blue
And you, you always leave too soon
Forever lost in the light of the moon
A darker shade of you
