[Verse 1]
All my life -
I chose you.
Thought we were forever -
Even said...I do.
Now I'm not -
sure what to do.
Try to replace her laugh -
with this noise.
And convince myself -
there's still…color here.
[Chorus]
But all my life -
Thought I had this spark,
that I could light - to make it through.
Now it's just a dark,
and endless night - because of you.
You took your bright,
away from me - gave it to someone new.
I try...to be alright,
but I don't know -
how to live in black and white.
[Verse 2]
All my life -
in a flash.
Before these eyes -
As I...give you space,
so you can take,
a part of me,
I can't replace.
Try to convince myself -
there's still some color...here.
[Chorus]
Cuz all my life -
Thought I had this spark,
that I could light - to make it through.
Now it's just a dark,
and endless night - because of you.
You took your bright,
away from me - gave it to someone new.
I try...to be alright,
but I don't know -
how to live in black and white.
[Bridge]
Can someone show me how to live -
in a world without color?
It's like a part of me is missing -
and I'm still waiting to discover...
that I don't want it back.
But how can I be me, without it back...
[Verse 3]
Cuz all my life -
I tried to hide.
From things that I never -
spoke out loud.
But I still hope,
that I might find...
find out, who I am.
In these poems, or in this song.
As I pray, that someone else,
might see the colors...here.
