Chameleon Boy [Italian translation]

I changed my color for you,

I shed my coat with caution,

I lack the beauty you display...

See here there are the bruises

And some were self-inflicted

And some showed up along the way.

So I nod my head,

I'm ready for the world to see

The secret I kept here inside,

The man you thought I'd be.

Slip into coma calm,

The coma where I calm myself down,

Here comes excuses

Why I let you down.

[Chorus:]

Stand by for another breakdown,

Sound off the alarm.

Is this the chameleon boy

I swore I wouldn't become?

Chameleon boy

Chameleon boy

So now we've come upon

The hardest thing I've ever done:

It's telling you that I'm a mess.

What sort of mess I mean

Is self-destructive gasoline,

The kind that strips you of your best.

And while I play instead the way

That most would end up dead,

You sleep alone at home and wish

That I were in our bed...

With this I'm telling you

My color changes back to blue.

How do I ask you this...

Will you help me through?

[Chorus x2]

I try to think of all the people I look up to,

Or growing up who would I be.

Now the twisted part:

Where did all my idols end up?

They've all passed away

Passed away...

Stand by

It's the chameleon boy

Stand by

It's the chameleon boy

Chameleon Boy

I'm chameleon boy

Chameleon boy

I'm chameleon boy
