Verse 1:
                                 
I've been down, I've been out
                    
I did it all on my own
                      
Seems growing up 
        
Didn't take long 
                                 
I feel strange, I feel good 
                
I feel better with you 
                          
You've changed, you should 
                  
Cause I think I did too 


                     
Made my mistakes 
                     
I did a few things right
                                 
But it will take what it will take 
              
Baby, that's life 
                                  
You cannot change what you do not own 
            
Everybody knows 
                                  
But if you live deep and love strong 

Refrain:
                     
You get pretty damn close 
                             
It moves fast and it scares me 
                                      
I close my eyes, oh but I still see 

Chorus:
            
I'm fading in and out 
                             
What are you supposed to do save me now
                              
From all of this danger you don't know how 
                     
And I'll find my way out 
          
When I'm in the red 
                        
Listening to strangers inside my head 
                       
The darkening angels beneath the bed 
                 (hold)
I still see everything you said 
Crimson in red 

--- 2x

Verse 2: ---
I shake and I smile 
Cause you said 
Baby girl, it may take a while, but take the good from the bad 
And never minds are never sure, so never leave them wanting more 
What are you waiting for 
How you love is who you are 

Refrain 2: --
I dive in and I sink in 
And I find new colors to think in 

Chorus: ---
I'm fading in and out 
What are you supposed to do save me know 
From all of this danger you don't know how 
And I'll find my way out 
When I'm in the red 
Listening to strangers inside my head 
The darkening angels beneath the bed 
I still see everything you said 
Crimson in red 

Bridge: ---
In the distance is a line defining where I've been 
Rhe state I'm in 
And ever since it began to slip from my two hands I've been 
Taunting fires, touching wires, been believing liars 
Everything they said 
Painted in red 
Painted in red
Painted in red


Chorus: ---
I am fading in and out 
What are you gonna do save me know 
From all of this danger you don't know how 
I'll find my way out 
When I'm in the red 
Listening to strangers inside my head 
The darkening angels beneath the bed 
I still see what you said 

---
What are you gonna do 
No way for you to save me 
What are you gonna do 
Everything that you gave me 
Is painted in red
