Say Oh
Riot Of Colours Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You forgot my name
I take the blame
But could you please explain it all

Where do you go
D′you feel below
Cause I have seen you fall
So say 'oh′

Where is your golden glow

I can feel your heart
A heart so hard to please
This is your hardest part
And if you hold on
Could you hold on please

Why, why are we here
Say do you know
I tried so hard to let you go
So say "oh"

Where is your golden glow

I can feel your heart
A heart so hard to please
This is your hardest part
And if you hold on
Could you hold on please

I can feel your heart
A heart so hard to please
This is your hardest part
And if you hold on
Could you hold on please

I know I scared you off
With all the things I have done
And everything I do seems to come undone
This scare marks the end of us

But where is your golden glow
Where is your golden glow

I can feel your heart
A heart so hard to please
This is your hardest part
And if you hold on
Could you hold on please

I can feel your heart
A heart so hard to please




This is your hardest part
But if you hold on could you hold on please
