| I painted it blue | |
| It reminds me of you | |
| Blue like the skies that | |
| I saw in your eyes | |
| But I pictured them red as you dwelled in my head | |
| As you I look over my shoulder | |
| Look back into your eyes | |
| And drifting away | |
| I've got nothing to say | |
| My hands are tied | |
| My hands are tied | |
| They're tied | |
| Remember the first flash of anger | |
| I watched as they clouded to grey | |
| As I saw you grow cold | |
| Found my sap pour away | |
| And I swallowed my pride | |
| Swallowed my pride | |
| Swallowed my pride | |
| Stemmed the anger inside | |
| When it died | |
| I stand in the shadows | |
| Look up at the sky | |
| Not to remember | |
| The passing of time | |
| Surrounded by ether | |
| I almost forget that you | |
| I look over my shoulder | |
| Look back into your eyes | |
| And drifting away | |
| I've got nothing to say | |
| My hands were tied | |
| My hands were tied |
