Red - Sara Bareilles

I’ve been down, I’ve been out

I did it all on my own

Seems growing up

Didn’t take long

I feel strange, I feel good

I feel better with you

You’ve changed, you should

Because I think I did too

Made my mistakes

I did a few things right

But it will take what it will take

Baby, that’s life

You cannot change what you do not own

Everybody knows

But if you live deep and love strong

You get pretty damn close

It moves fast and it scares me

I close my eyes, oh but I still see

I’m fading in and out

What are you supposed to do?

Save me now

From all of this danger you don’t know how

And I’ll find my way out

When I’m in the red

Listening to strangers inside my head

The darkening angels beneath the bed

I still see everything you said

Crimson in red

I shake and I smile

Because you said

Baby girl, it may take a while, but take the good from the bad

And never minds are never sure, so never leave them wanting more

What are you waiting for?

How you love is who you are

I dive in and I sink in

And I find new colors to think in

I’m fading in and out

What are you supposed to do?

Save me now

From all of this danger you don’t know how

And I’ll find my way out

When I’m in the red

Listening to strangers inside my head

The darkening angels beneath the bed

I still see everything you said

Crimson in red

In the distance is a line defining where I’ve been

The state I’m in

And ever since it began to slip from my two hands I’ve been

Taunting fires, touching wires, been believing liars

Everything they said

Painted in red

I’m fading in and out

What are you supposed to do?

Save me now

From all of this danger you don’t know how

And I’ll find my way out

When I’m in the red

Listening to strangers inside my head

The darkening angels beneath the bed

I still see everything you said

Crimson in red

What are you going to do?

No way for you to save me

What are you going to do?

Everything that you gave me

Is painted in red
