Colors of Leaving

about

My story for this album: "I wish I could say that she is the other woman, but in fact I am. What you see on the EP cover is a real Instagram photo of the real girl taken by the real boy who inspired this collection of music. She isn't me; I will never be her. Obsession, possession, denial, heartbreak landed me in a position to write and express my way through a difficult situation. He chose her. The songs of "Is There Only One?" reflect my state of mind as I processed, questioned, and eventually found peace with such a visceral experience with rejection. This led me to think about the structure of relationships, attachment, and how the modern romance is diluted or enhanced by social media. Sometimes the things we do in the name of lust or love forsake reason and logic. We have the most hope despite our knowledge. I had the most hope."

lyrics

COLORS OF LEAVING by Lena Fayre

Colors start to fade in and out
The way that you held my hands down
Colors start to fade into white
Push down the stairs but I catch flight

Boy I know you like that
I can see who you are
Now you’re tryna tell me
This was all my fault
Love me like a brother
See you as a monster
Wanna be your number
Ready for us all

Please don’t pretend I can love you like a friend
Please don’t pretend I can love you like a friend
Please don’t pretend I can love you like a friend
Please don’t pretend I can love you like a friend

Colors start to bleed into me
Safe here with you in my head
Colors start to bleed out from me
Safe here with you, so I pretend

Boy I know you like that
I can see who you are
Now you’re tryna tell me
This was all my fault
Love you like a brother
See you as a monster
Wanna be your victim
Ready for us all

Please don’t pretend I can love you like a friend
Please don’t pretend I can love you like a friend
Please don’t pretend I can love you like a friend
Please don’t pretend I can love you like a friend
Please don’t pretend I can love you like a friend
Please don’t pretend I can love you like a friend
