Lyrics

violet
(is the new blue)

she has a way of losing you in a crowd
but then you see her thundercloud
that hovers ever near you
violet
is the new blue

a name that should be perfect, full of spring
and yet, you find her mood darkening
troubled by all she's been though
violet
is the new

blue and lovely like no other
she's as precious as they come
but she'll never know another
the mirror moves for no one

she has a habit of walking away from the world
when all its weight falls on the girl
she'll disappear on you too
i think
violet
is the new blue...

...she's a beauty undiscovered
but be prepared once it's begun
'cause she'll never love another
the mirror moves for no one

she has a habit of walking away from the world
when all that weight falls on the girl
she'll disappear on you too
violet
is the new blue
i think
violet
is the new blue...
