It was fun playin' with knives Until a blade Stuck in the left side of my chest Surprise I'm not down again, I turned the page This story's mine No more watchin' the world from my doorstep Passin' me by (passin' me by) And I just keep changin' These colors, colors, colors, colors I'm not in the same place That I was, I was, I was, I was But if somebody tells me I'll go back to my old ways I'm gonna say: No way I'm out of the doorway I'm hearin' them all say I'll go back to my old ways Not goin' back to my old ways Not goin' back to my old ways (Not goin' back to my old ways) Now I know what's good for me All that I need And I can't wait to sink my teeth in And take another bite And the best part about it Is I'm the only who can do somethin' about it I fill the well with some water , it's overflowin' Black into gold Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfold And I just keep changin' These colors, colors, colors, colors I'm not in the same place That I was, I was, I was, I was But if somebody tells me I'll go back to my old ways I'm gonna say: No way I'm out of the doorway I'm hearin' them all say I'll go back to my old ways Not goin' back to my old ways Not goin' back to my old ways (Not goin' back to my old ways) Every scar The flames burnt them all I'm not afraid to fall I'm spiraling, I'm spiraling Past the stars I'm not burning out I'm not afraid to fall I'm not afraid anymore And I just keep changin' my colors I'm not in the same place that I was, I was (And the best part about it) (Is I'm the only who can do somethin' about it) (I fill the well with some water , it's overflowin') Black into gold Who knew it'd be so bright without the blindfold And I just keep changin' These colors, colors, colors, colors I'm not in the same place That I was, I was, I was, I was But if somebody tells me I'll go back to my old ways I'm gonna say: No way I'm out of the doorway I'm hearin' them all say I'll go back to my old ways Not goin' back to my old ways
