I don't know why I keep on believing you need me \
When you've proved so many times that it ain't true
And I can't find one good reason for staying,
maybe my leaving would be the best for you

Chorus:
        But these rose colored glasses
        That I'm looking through
        Show only the beauty
        'Cause they hide all the truth

And they let me hold on to the good times, good lines
The ones I used to hear when I held you
And they keep me from feeling so cheated, defeated
When reflections in your eyes show me a fool

Chorus

So I just keep on hopin', believin'
That maybe by counting the many times that I've tried
You'll believe me when I say, "I love you"
And I'll lay these rose colored glasses aside

Chorus
