You told me red
You told me your favourite colour was red
...so I wore it
You told me I looked beautiful
...so I adored it
You told me to impress you
and I thought I did.
But what a fool I felt when you did what you did.
You told me your favourite colour was red
so you made me wear it.
You told me I looked beautiful
so you made sure I adored it.
You told me to impress you
but you impressed yourself.
You told me your favourite colour was red
...so that's what I bled.
