Grinch

When the air of memories today
Just stirs up your pain
When you look at who you were back then
And it breaks your heart

When the cold of winter came in
And you still can't find the warmth
And they exclude you with their eyes, oh
For searching for something more

And even if they paint you green today
Like you’re some kind of mistake
They don’t know what the Grinch carries
Just to see the sun again

And even if they paint you green, oh
Like you’re some kind of mistake
They don’t know what the Grinch keeps quiet
His sadness and his strength

When you hide what hurts, oh
To not show any fear
With a lump in your throat, you go
Trying to hear your voice

If you miss what once was
And there’s no one around
Shine like an emerald now
Forged under pure pressure

And even if they paint you green today
Like you’re some kind of mistake
They don’t know what the Grinch carries
Just to see the sun again

And even if they paint you green, oh
Like you’re some kind of mistake
They don’t know what the Grinch keeps quiet
His sadness and his strength
