Charlotte & The Co-Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And then we're leaving, we're leaving
'Cause you told me that the stars are mine
You didn't mean, didn't mean it
'Cause you left me with tears in my eyes
And you left like a thief in the night
I'm falling and I'm fighting
Ooh
Yeah
Ooh
Hey
Don't colour my heart blues and greys
Don't tell me that I'm not OK
Don't colour my heart with your shades
Don't colour my heart 'cause I'll make it through
Yeah, I'll make it through
No more tears for you
Don't colour my heart
I remember all the lies you made
And I believed, I believed it
Tried to paint me in the darker shade
But I don't need, I don't need it
'Cause you left me with tears in my eyes
And you left like a thief in the night
I'm fighting in the fire
Am I burning, am I burning?
Ooh
Yeah
Ooh
Hey
Don't colour my heart blues and greys
Don't tell me that I'm not OK
Don't colour me with all your shades
Don't colour my heart 'cause I'll make it through
Yeah, I'll make it through
No more tears for you
Don't you colour my heart
Here I go from eye to eye
Done that things that I can't take back
Here I go from red to blue
You're telling things that you know ain't true
There you go from lie to lie
Telling me things that you know ain't right
Here I go from red to blue
You're telling things that you know ain't true
There you go from lie to lie
Telling me things that you know ain't right
Here I go from red to blue
You're telling things that you know ain't true
There you go from lie to lie
Telling me things that I know ain't right
Here I go from red to blue
You're telling things that you know ain't true
Don't colour my heart blues and greys
Don't tell me that I'm not OK
Don't colour me with all your shades
Don't colour my heart 'cause I'll make it through
Yeah, I'll make it through
No more tears for you
Please don't colour my heart 'cause I'll make it through
Yeah, I'll make it through
No more tears for you
Please don't colour my heart 'cause I'll make it through
Yeah, I'll make it through
No more tears for you
Don't colour my heart
In "Colour My Heart," Charlotte OC sings about a past relationship that ended badly. The singer is leaving the starting line, ready to move on, but is still haunted by the past. She talks about the promises that were made to her, but that were never kept. The tears in her eyes suggest that it was a painful breakup that left her feeling betrayed, as if the person she thought she knew was actually a thief. She is falling and fighting, trying to make sense of what happened and questioning if they truly felt anything for her.
The chorus is the singer's plea to her former lover not to affect her with negative emotions. She refuses to let this person colour her heart with blues and greys, as if depicting her in a sad and hopeless state. She asserts that she is okay and will make it through, but only if they stop trying to darken her outlook. The second verse is a reflection on the lies that were told to her and how they believed them. Still, she is determined to move on and doesn't need anyone to paint her in a darker shade. The ending of the song repeats the "Don't colour my heart" refrain, emphasizing that she wants to move on, but needs to let go of all ties to the past relationship.
