Landscape of My Life

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 6 months ago 1 min read

[Verse 1]

I saw the way you looked at me

Like my heart was something you could bend

Sweet words like sugar in my tea

Only turned bitter in the end

You played your part, you wore your mask

Until the cracks began to show

Now I see your true colors bleeding through

And baby, I know what I know

[Chorus]

When people show you who they are

Don’t reach for rose-colored glasses

Don’t paint over your scars

Just grab your hiking boots and go

Leave the lies ... Say goodbye

Turn your back, don’t look behind

Cuz Truth walks faster than love that's blind

Yeah truth walks faster than love that's blind

[Verse 2]

I used to think that love could fix

Every damn broken, jagged line

But, baby, some folks ain’t meant to change

They just waste your precious time

I gave you chances, gave you space

But you kept on showing me

That your true colors ain’t the kind

I want painting the landscape of my life

Chorus]

When people show you who they are

Don’t reach for rose-colored glasses

Don’t paint over your scars

Just grab your hiking boots and go

Leave the lies say goodbye

Turn your back, don’t look behind

Cuz Truth walks faster than love that's blind

Yeah truth walks faster than love that's blind

[Bridge]

I’m not angry, I’m just wise

I've traded tears for clear Blue skies

No more waiting, no more doubt

I’m walking tall, I’m walking out

[Chorus]

When people show you who they are

Don’t reach for rose-colored glasses

Don’t paint over your scars

Just grab your hiking boots and go

Leave the lies say goodbye

Turn your back, don’t look behind

Cuz Truth walks faster than love that's blind

Yeah truth walks faster than love that's blind
