The colors that you’re shining are surely not your best.

Lately, I have been missing my sister. I do my best to not let it upset me too much since that doesn’t do me any good. All I know is that the person she is now isn’t the person I call sister and friend and that’s been really hard to cope with. I have to mourn the loss as if it were a death and I don’t think I have done this yet. I vent because talking about it helps but I know that venting doesn’t equal coping.

Anyway, sometimes while listening to Pandora at work I will hear a song that makes me think of her and today’s was “Colors” by Crossfade.

Lyrics:

Can you feel it crush you? Does it seem to bring the worst in you out?
There’s no running away from these things that hold you down
Do they complicate you because they make you feel like this?
Of all the colors that you’ve shined this is surely not your best

But you should know these colors that you’re shining are…
Surely not the best colors that you shine

I know you feel alone, yeah, and no one else can figure you out
But don’t you ever turn away from the ones that help you down?
Well they’d love to save you. Don’t you know they love to see you smile?
But these colors that you’ve shined are surely not your style

I know you’re feeling like you’re lost
But you should know these colors that you’re shinin’ are
I know you’re feeling like you’re lost,
You feel you’ve drifted way too far
Did you know these colors that you’re shinin’ are

Surely not the best..
(I know you’re feeling like you’re lost)
Colors that you shine..
(but you should know these colors that you’re shining are)
Surely not the best..
(I know you’re feeling like you’re lost you feel you’ve drifted way too far)
Did you know these colors that you’re shinin’ are.
