lyrics

I know the devil was never in the detail for you
Details don’t matter when you’re so busy hiding the proof
In love with the headlines and the money reframing the truth

‘Forgive and forget’ was a message you never could send
to the perfect companion in a lifelong game of pretend
Chameleon colours - they just let you down in the end

In this hall of mirrors nothing is quite what it seems
When the lights went down you were the carnival queen
the promise around every corner with the logic of dreams

In the dark of the night
or the depths of the sea
I’m not counting on you
you’re not looking for me

Chameleon colours have just let you down once again
