Surrender or Success They were together, they were brilliant
In her own words they "were doing it in living color"
He sat on their old leather couch that was given to them
But she had gone, so had his joy and placement in the world, that color had grown dim.

3 years had passed and so much had changed
That couch moved place to place and starting to show signs of wear
When it was new it it was brilliant red leather, now it'd faded to To a maroon ' ish brown
From home to home the the couch was dingy broken in and worn
The man the same way, so broke he didn't think he could be any more torn

You wouldn't think him pathetic, relatively smooth with the ladies
He came off confident adjusted he knew who he was
It shows that he'd been hurt a few times and had no intentions of it happening again
He'll fight his feelings on a daily basis keeping them all locked up
And the girl well she moved on had the family he wanted got her ring finger all rocked up

So he's sitting on their couch, used to be the cornerstone if their home
Looking back at everything he'd had and lost in the last few years
You would think he felt Down sorting through so much darkness
But like the flick of a switch he sees the color hadn't faded it was vibrant and had been the whole time
Cause that darkness that he's living in, to him is just like sunshine.
