She puts a smile on
Unaware it isn’t her real one
She tries so hard
Does she know her mind is playing with her soul?
How could she know?
He stands outside dreaming
No need to read their feelings
The sound of laughter hurries him to hide beneath his skin
He puts on a grin, over him
Do you feel like
Longing to be true to you?
Does it feel like
You lost the art of being you?
What’s the color needed this evening
Are we chameleons, changing shade
Feeling out the air we share without knowing
Wondering where we lie deep under this skin
It’s her turn to speak her feelings
Inside, her voice is brewing
She takes a breath, but again her words are siding with a tone,
That’s not her own, but she’s not alone
We go on thinking
“I’ll try to match my mood to you”
But who’s to know
What’s blue to me is what’s blue to you?
Chorus
Still we hide here
Pretending we don’t know it’s true
But who’s to know
What’s blue to me is what’s blue to you?
