I painted it blue, it reminds me of you   Blue like the skies that I saw in your eyes   But I pictured them red as you   Dwelt in my head as you      I look over my shoulder   Look back into your eyes   And drifting away I've got nothing to say   My hands are tied, my hands are tied   They're tied      Remember the first flash of anger   I watched as they clouded to gray   As I saw you grow cold felt myself slip away   And I swallow my pride, swallow my pride   Swallow my pride, stem the anger inside      Well, it died   I stand in the shadows, look up at the sky   Not to remember the passing of time   Surrounded by ether I almost forget that you      I look over my shoulder   Look back into your eyes   And drifting away I've got nothing to say   My hands were tied, my hands were tired
