Yesterday I got lost in the circus
Feeling like such a mess
Now I'm down I'm just hanging on the corner
I can't help but reminisce

When you're gone
All the colors fade
When you're gone
No the years they parade
When you're gone
Colors seem to fade

Your mama called, she said
That you're downstairs crying
Feeling like such a mess
And yeah I hear ya
yeah in the background bawling
What happened to your sweet summer time dress

I know it all
We all got our faults
We get locked in our voids
And make mistakes

When you're gone
All the colors fade
When you're gone
No the years they parade
When you're gone
Colors seem to fade
