I'm so tired of trying to gain my composure
But I swear that I'm fine
Holding on for the stars to realign
And lead your hand to mine
You stole the sun from my eyes, leaving me blind
Since I've craved a light, that only you could provide
Drag my heart through the dirt again
But you'll never know what you do to me
That you'll awaken to this
The brightest colours in my life (you are the words that marry the page)
Leave me in black and white (you are everything, you are nothing)
In black and white
In black and white
(What must I do to make you stay?)
My mind, running on empty
I'm so tired of trying to gain my composure
But I swear that I'm fine
Holding out for the stars to realign
And lead your hand to mine
Absent from every note that my heart sings
I've given it all but you're asking
For more than I've got to give
I can't help feel like you're fading
Away from me
You made me see that I could never be
What you want, what you need
I tried so desperately
This heavy heart is a sinking ship
It'll take the rest of me down with it
The brightest colours leave me in black and white
The brightest colours leave me in black and white
In black and white
Drag my heart through the dirt again
As I fade into a deeper shade of grey
As I fade to a deeper shade of grey
Of grey
