Rothko

Couldn't hold you for long

Guess the distance looked better than me

I could only try so

Hard to get close to you

Now you're out with someone

Who is far more holy than me

Does she make you feel pure?

Safe and secure and new?

I was chasing

The thrill of changing your mind

Hung up, wasting

I thought you saw me like a Rothko

But you didn't even see me at all

Now I know was only ever confusing to you

I thought you saw me like a Rothko

But you didn't even see me at all

Now I know was only ever confusing

Confusing to you

I remember the days when I thought

We'd go the same way

Yeah, but when you're nineteen

It's all so easy to lose

I was chasing

The thrill of changing your mind

Hung up, wasting

I thought you saw me like a Rothko

But you didn't even see me at all

Now I know was only ever confusing to you

I thought you saw me like a Rothko

But you didn't even see me at all

Now I know I was only ever confusing

Confusing to you

I always thought that you saw me like a Rothko

I always thought that you saw me like a Rothko

(Ooh)

I thought you saw me like a Rothko

But you didn't even see me at all

Now I know I was only ever confusing to you

I thought you saw me like a Rothko

But you didn't even see me at all

Now I know I was only ever confusing

Confusing to you
