Song Description

Blinded by charm and lost in illusion, a woman reflects on the love she couldn't see clearly--until she took off the rose-colored glasses.

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Down on Maple Drive, where the summers felt endless,
You walked in with your smile so reckless.
Eyes like the ocean, promises spoken,
In your glow, all the warnings were broken.

(Chorus)
But you can't see red flags when you wear rose-colored glasses,
All the signs in love's blinding flashes.
Dancing in the light of a love that deceives,
In the shade of those roses, you just can't believe.

(Verse 2)
We laughed under starlight, your hand in mine,
Talking 'bout forever, lost in time.
But whispers in the wind were telling the truth,
In the hue of your charm, I lost my youth.

(Chorus)
'Cause you can't see red flags when you wear rose-colored glasses,
Blind to the truth as each moment passes.
Caught in a dream, where everything's right,
Under rose-colored glasses, we lost the fight.

(Verse 3)
Now the autumn leaves, they fall like my tears,
Echoes of laughter through the years.
I walked away, with a heart half-healed,
In the light of truth, real love is revealed.

(Chorus )
Yeah, you can't see red flags when you wear rose-colored glasses,
But life teaches lessons as each moment passes.
Now I'm standing strong, in the light of the day,
With clear eyes, I'm finding my way.

(Outro)
Down on Maple Drive, where it all started,
With rose-colored glasses, now departed.
In the clarity of dawn, I see the skies,
No more rose-colored lies, just clear blue skies.
