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

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

And they let me hold onto the good times, the 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

Yeah, these rose colored glasses
That I'm looking through
Show only the beauty
'Cause they hide all the truth

So I just keep on hoping, believing
That maybe by counting the many times I have tried
You'll believe me when I say, I love you
And I'll lay these rose colored glasses aside
