Royal Blue by Stars Align Music & Lyrics: Jamie Lyn Wooley-Snider [Intro] I wish you’d see beyond the rain Wipe the film from your window pane The same gray skies that make you cry Break into light before my eyes ⸻ [Verse 1] I guess I’m confused Don’t understand you You just cry And I feel the Divine I guess it’s hard not to be blue In the cage that’s surrounding you Tangible proof of success Couldn’t buy simple happiness ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Or a life you don’t even know Surrounded, still alone And it’s not hard to see Why you do what you do to me ⸻ [Chorus] We could be the best we ever had But I paint in technicolor You paint your pain in royal blue Both sovereign Both free to choose So baby don’t say we’re only blues There are frequencies You can still attune to We are a symphony— Sun and rain Gloom and hope Pieces of one whole Don’t sing us as blue skies ⸻ [Verse 2] I imagine what I would choose Role set, reputation to lose All that goodness on the line Would I walk, or fall in time? That’s what you would do So I don’t even have to forgive you Some days I’ll outlive you Still not capable of anger Just irritated Mostly sad ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] And I see the weight you hold All the stories you’ve been sold Still it echoes back to me In the ways you choose to leave ⸻ [Chorus] We could be the best we ever had But I paint in technicolor You paint your pain in royal blue Both sovereign Both free to choose So baby don’t say we’re only blues There are frequencies You can still attune to We are a symphony— Sun and rain Gloom and hope Pieces of one whole Don’t sing us as blue skies ⸻ [Bridge] You can stay inside that shade Call it truth, the life you made But there’s color in the break In every risk you’re scared to take I don’t need you to believe What I already see Just don’t reduce what this could be To something incomplete ⸻ [Verse 3] I don’t hate you, I just know Where your fear won’t let you go And I won’t collapse my light To make your darkness feel like home I’ll still feel you in the rain In the echo of your name But I won’t deny the sun Just because you chose the gray ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] And it’s clear as anything You could step into the ring But you hesitate, you stall So you never risk it all ⸻ [Chorus] We could be the best we ever had But I paint in technicolor You paint your pain in royal blue Both sovereign Both free to choose So baby don’t say we’re only blues There are frequencies You can still attune to We are a symphony— Sun and rain Gloom and hope Pieces of one whole Don’t sing us as blue skies ⸻ [Outro] I wish you’d see beyond the rain Wipe the film from your window pane The same gray skies that make you cry Still break into light before my eyes Don’t sing us as blue skies
