And suddenly, the world was full of color.

Funny how that shit still gets to me
Dunno if I'm even capable now
To open up and let you see
Don't make me look stupid
I'm begging please

I ain't even mean to feel again
My heart just skipped a beat
Don't believe what I'm hearing
How'd you revive my love
With such innocence?

I forgot I had feelings
It's all been fun and games
Until I felt it beat
Been silent so long
Scared the fuck out of me

Reviving something
Thought to be long extinct
Making scientific discoveries
Won the prize for Nobel Peace

Where's the evidence
To support your findings?
I'm not past disbelief
Having a hard time processing

Uncomfortable in my skin
Vulnerable ain't in my pedigree
Yet here I am
I stand naked before thee

Tell me to relax and breathe
But I'm terrified to be caught like this
What have you done to me?
Don't recognize myself
It's been so long since I've been free

It's empowering, right?
But don't you see what this really means?
Because I know one day
You'll take your love and leave

Trust me babe, I know these things
Life be like that honestly
