Colours at a Funeral - Leah McFall

I keep waiting for the part

We start painting this work of art

I’m running a fiction film in my head

Of what you and me could be

Of what you and me should be

Oh it’s too late, too late, too late

We’ve turned to dust

Yeah it’s too late, too late, too late

I had to bury us

I thought love was going to be beautiful

Feel like I wore colour to a funeral

We’re born and we died

I know I’ll be alright

It’s just that I thought love was gonna be beautiful

I wore colour to a funeral

We’re faded

There’s only grey and water

And it’s like we traded lonely for landmines

Been holding a picture frame

In my mind I thought you and me could be

Cos the one that I own is empty

Oh it’s too late, too late, too late

We’ve turned to dust

Yeah it’s too late, too late, too late

I had to bury us

I thought love was going to be beautiful

Feel like I wore colour to a funeral

We’re born and we died

I know I’ll be alright

It’s just that I thought love was gonna be beautiful

I thought love was gonna be beautiful

I thought love was gonna be beautiful

But I feel like I wore colour to a funeral

Told me love was immortal, no

So how come I am standing

How come I am standing on the grave

So how come I am standing

How come I am standing on the grave

So how come I am standing

How come I am standing on the grave

I thought love was gonna be beautiful

I thought love was gonna be beautiful

But I feel like I wore colour to a funeral
