"Colour Me In" lyrics - DAMIEN RICE

I tried to repress it, then I carried its crown.
I reached out to undress it. Love let me down.
Love let me down.

So I tried to erase it, but the ink bled right through.
Almost drove myself crazy when these words led to you.
And all these useless dreams of living alone
Like a dogless bone.

So come let me love you,
Come let me love you and then
Colour me in.

Well, I tried to control it and cover it up.
I reached out to console it. It was never enough.
Never enough.

So I tried to forget it, it was all part of the show.
And so I regret it, but what do I know
About all these useless dreams of living alone
Like a dogless bone.

So come let me love you,
Come let me love you and then
Colour me in.

Come let me love you,
Come let me take this through the end
Of all these useless dreams I'm living,
All these useless dreams
And all these useless dreams I'm living
And all these, oh, no...

Come let me love you,
Come let me love you,
Come let me love you,
Come let me in.
