Landscape of My Life
[Verse 1]
I saw the way you looked at me
Like my heart was something you could bend
Sweet words like sugar in my tea
Only turned bitter in the end
You played your part, you wore your mask
Until the cracks began to show
Now I see your true colors bleeding through
And baby, I know what I know
[Chorus]
When people show you who they are
Don’t reach for rose-colored glasses
Don’t paint over your scars
Just grab your hiking boots and go
Leave the lies ... Say goodbye
Turn your back, don’t look behind
Cuz Truth walks faster than love that's blind
Yeah truth walks faster than love that's blind
[Verse 2]
I used to think that love could fix
Every damn broken, jagged line
But, baby, some folks ain’t meant to change
They just waste your precious time
I gave you chances, gave you space
But you kept on showing me
That your true colors ain’t the kind
I want painting the landscape of my life
Chorus]
When people show you who they are
Don’t reach for rose-colored glasses
Don’t paint over your scars
Just grab your hiking boots and go
Leave the lies say goodbye
Turn your back, don’t look behind
Cuz Truth walks faster than love that's blind
Yeah truth walks faster than love that's blind
[Bridge]
I’m not angry, I’m just wise
I've traded tears for clear Blue skies
No more waiting, no more doubt
I’m walking tall, I’m walking out
[Chorus]
When people show you who they are
Don’t reach for rose-colored glasses
Don’t paint over your scars
Just grab your hiking boots and go
Leave the lies say goodbye
Turn your back, don’t look behind
Cuz Truth walks faster than love that's blind
Yeah truth walks faster than love that's blind

The short form of tomorrow is never the whole story. Abbreviations mean nothing when we are born to die and we all are aren't we? Being spoken for before birth is something we're not supposed to remember like some kind of karma after effect. Still here we are spending our lives looking for each other.
