Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You don't sleep
You don't like to sleep alone at night, no, no
Wish you would tell me
Tell me 'cause something isn't right, right with you

[Pre-Chorus]
You hit like a tidal wave, words that you had to say
Things I never knew
I felt that was so much weight, stuck on your shoulders, babe
I'll be here for you

[Chorus]
'Cause once you showed me your true, true colors
Oh, you gave me a feeling I never felt
Once I saw your true, true colors
Oh, I loved you like I loved no one else
I'll love no one else

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Said you could tell me
'Cause I know you had another side, uh
I know you were worried
And I know so I let you take your time
And the day came and

[Pre-Chorus]
You hit like a tidal wave, words that you had to say
Things I never knew, oh, yeah
I felt that was so much weight, stuck on your shoulders, babe
I'll be here for you, oh

[Chorus]
'Cause once you showed me your true, true colors (True)
Oh, you gave me a feeling I never felt (I never felt)
Once I saw your true, true colors (True colors)
Oh, I loved you like I loved no one else
I'll love no one else (I'll love no one else)

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah (Ooh)

[Outro]
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no, ah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
