Jo Davidson - Rose Colored Gla**es lyrics

You said my tight jeans were causing him to sin And that anyway you never liked girls like me Strutting around with my shirt tucked in Not covering what the boys shouldn't see You called me a b**h it became my new name Then you tried to teach me to love Your impact stopped where your actions left off I felt I was never good enough With rules by which even God wouldn't abide You set down the iron fist I fell in lust and the punishment stung like fresh Blood on a suicidal wrist In spite of the four foot log in your eye You sought out the speck in my own You delivered your judgment day after day From the gla** house where you threw stones Rose colored gla**es They were all I knew how to wear I was young and I had no money To buy me another pair so I wore my Rose colored gla**es And I tried to see through the pain You watched me through the rearview mirror Til I was no longer sane You played the enemy then you played the friend I never denied you the choice You stripped away the music of me til I Sang but I heard no voice I gained twenty pounds put my tight jeans away And my high heels under the bed Oh I didn't feel s**y but I guess I was pure Lost my body and lost my head Rose colored gla**es I couldn't tell the time nor the hour I gave you all the control But in the end you held no power I wore my rose colored gla**es And I tried to see through the pain You watched me through the rearview mirror Til I was no longer sane Ten months later and a lifetime of hell when all the Eggshells had cracked Oh we parted ways without saying goodbye And I never once looked back Now yesterday I found your skeleton in my closet With the memory of what happened to me I wiped off the dust like a cloud of mistrust in my Personal museum of history It's an empty feeling I have no girlfriends I tiptoe by them All in a soft shoe 'cause every time I see a woman's face I'm only seeing you Rose colored gla**es I never saw you for what you were Not til many years later When I opened the wound where you hurt me I wore my rose colored gla**es And I tried to see through the pain You watched me through the rearview mirror til I was no Longer sane I couldn't tell the time nor the hour I gave you all the control But in the end you held no power I wore my rose colored gla**es and I tried to see Through the pain You watched me through the rearview mirror Til I was no longer sane I was no longer sane I was no longer sane
