Lyrics
If colors are emotions
And the story’s told within the art
There stands an empty canvas
Waiting for the brush to start
Staring at the palette
Too afraid to feel
Knowing it will break his heart
Empty and abandonded
Little boy lost in blue
Lost in blue
Lost in blue
Suffering the demons
Of doubt that live inside of you
Lost in blue
Lost in blue
Fading in the sadness
Little boy lost in blue
Each stroke a truth to feel
A gallery to heal
The wounds that left you color blind
Reflections on the weave
Will light the hope you need
To leave the years of pain behind
Another day is dawning
Shrouded in a world of gray
Awaiting in the colors
The strength to paint the shame away
When he begins see them
The portrait will reveal
He was not the one to blame
Lift him from the darkness
No longer lost in blue
Lost in blue
Lost in blue
Suffering the demons
Of doubt that live inside of you
Lost in blue
Lost in blue
Fading in the sadness
Little boy lost in blue
May love release the sadness
For little boys lost in blue
