True Colors – English Lyrics

• By: Zedd, Kesha

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Stars fall at my feet

Keep me grounded as I reach

Higher than I see

Is there something there for me?

Pulling back the reins

Letting go again

I'm not afraid, I'm not

All my life, one page at a time

I'll show you my, my true colors

No-no, no-no, I won't apologize

For the fire in my eyes

Let me show you my, my true colors

It ain't your rainbow

A promise with the light

Is broken by design

What I thought we knew

Has been swallowed by the truth

It's time to light the flame

Right before it rains

I'm not afraid, I'm not

All my life, one page at a time

I'll show you my, my true colors

No-no, no-no, I won't apologize

For the fire in my eyes

Let me show you my, my true colors

It ain't your rainbow

Something, tells me

I know, nothing at all

I've escaped my capture

And I have no master

And somehow, it's like I've waited

All my life, one page at a time

I'll show you my, my true colors

No-no, no-no, I won't apologize

For the fire in my eyes

Let me show you my, my true colors

It ain't your rainbow

It ain't your rainbow

It ain't your rainbow

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

It ain't your rainbow
