lyrics

I tried to comprehend
The relevance of your barbed wire reaction
C`est la vie
C`est la vie
You never knew because you just presumed
This flower just exploded into bloom

But you couldn’t see
The optimistic shades of melancholy
You couldn’t see
The optimistic shades of
melancholy

Still you swipe away
Unable to forgive foolish mistakes of yesterday
Deja Vu
Deja Vu
You slated me
Heaped the blame on me
Berated me
Asphyxiated me

But you couldn’t break free
From the optimistic shades of melancholy
You couldn’t break free
From the optimistic shades of
melancholy
You couldn’t see
The optimistic shades of melancholy
You couldn’t see
The optimistic shades of
melancholy

Hokey pokey mad manic monkey
Riding high up on my back
Dogmatic clown
Riding high on horseback
