Verse
There but for the grace of God go I
She left me here, darling high and dry
She doth protest, and yet, methinks she lies
‘Cause here I stand, drowning in her tide
Chorus
You put on your glasses, and pink becomes the world
But that’s not how life works, you beautiful girl
Woman was broken, man couldn’t stand tall
And this our burden, this is the fall
Verse
Lo and behold, the queen has fallen dead
You didn’t hear anything I said
And blessed thou art, thy curse has left us red
The roses fade, they once bloomed in your head
Chorus
You put on your glasses, and pink becomes the world
But that’s not how life works, you beautiful girl
Woman was broken, man couldn’t stand tall
And this our burden, this is the fall
Bridge
Sometimes your vision’s clouded, wrapped up in a rosy haze
But thorns do exist, no, you can’t resist, your eyesight will soon fade
Maintain the charade and take center stage, but your blindness won’t keep you safe
C’mon, let’s go, put on your spectacles, you’re the star, and this is your show
Chorus
You put on your glasses, and pink becomes the world
But that’s not how life works, you beautiful girl
Woman was broken, man couldn’t stand tall
And this our burden, this is the fall
