Colour In the Grey

When I wake, if I allow it time My mind will ponder the decline When we found our ourselves I watched you drift away Unable to prevent the separation Regardless I feel you need to know That you saved me This won't be farewell Don't think I would ever let things end this way These memories won't fade They're everything to me They're the colour in the grey Glowing incandescently Like a beacon, shining into my soul Equally bright, equally cold The truth is I cannot help but feel that I did something awful to Cause this fissure To grow between me and all of you Reality is a far more difficult pill to swallow And so it follows that I'd blame myself But we're all just getting older Can I trust that you're not just outgrowing me? Don't think I would ever let things end this way These memories won't fade They're everything to me They're the colour in the grey Glowing incandescently I hope this reaches you And I hope you're doing well 'Cause with every ounce of my being I am wishing for your health No matter the distance between us I'll be toasting your success You will be with me always No matter where I go Remember what I say No matter how many years may pass I'll never, no I'll never turn my back on you Don't think I would ever let things end this way These memories won't fade They're everything to me They're the colour in the grey Glowing incandescently I always struggled to find the words To truly explain What your friendship meant to me And I know that we've changed But I hope you haven't forgotten That you're the family I chose This may be goodbye But it won't be farewell
