Andrea Hamilton Red lyrics

Verse 1:
My heart is free
Cause what i held on tight has flown away from me
I used to think
That i was grey and fine alone and not in need. but i wanted to be
Ya i wanted to be

Chorus:
Red, can you see what's inside only when i'm opened
In the rain, if it stings then you know you're alive
When you've bled, when the world takes away all the pride and childish notions
(last ch: ..all the lies, contrived and token)
You can only see red after you've been broken

Verse 2:

Vintage diary
When i write its color flowing covers me
Oh, and did you see
That i hide it in the closet underneath. but i want it to be
Read; ya i want it to be

Chorus

Bridge:
Why all the best dreams come at the hardest times
How the truth does burn, but my heart, it's beating
Like it never has
