There was no perfect me;
I need forgiveness too.
I know that shouldn't be
A reason to hurt you.
You look me in the eyes,
But I'm a guarded soul--
Afraid the truth will rise
And leave an empty hole.
When my strength has give in
And I surrender to your doubts,
You'll have to lose oblivion;
I'd rather die than shut you out.
And I hold your key to rainbow asylum,
You're never far from mind.
One white lie's a sparkling diamond
Oh, how I stroked you blind.
Although your heart gives truly blue,
I'm just a thief who hates to steal.
I'd rather leave than color you
With all the sadness that I feel.
I've felt another's touch,
Let her under my skin.
I'd give away too much
If I let you come in.
Since the truth you're living in
Is kinder to you than my all,
I'll let you keep oblivion --
I'd rather die than see you fall.
And I hold your key to rainbow asylum,
You're never far from mind.
One white lie's a sparkling diamond,
Oh, how I stroked you blind.
Although your heart gives truly blue,
I'm just a thief who hates to steal.
I'd rather leave than color you
With all the sadness that I feel.
Though the truth would be less tiresome
If I left it in your hands,
But at least in rainbow asylum
You think I'm better than I am.
