BLACK&WHITE

Maybe I’m mistaken
I’m a little shaken by that beautiful, colorful voice of yours
The patterns and the repetition
You tell me I won’t listen
You’re all alone, you’re tellin’ me
It’s all a joke, she’s tellin’ me

Like a misheard game of telephone
These are the girls of my world
Like a misspelled word I’ll never use
It’s there in black and white
It’s all freshly typed

I’m truly sorry, but things have changed
You’re not the girl I used to know
It’s killing me
And in the depths of my memories
Your stories echo from the past
Because your fears caught up with you at last

Sorry, I really am
My final words are on the page
In black and white
And down the hallway of memories
Your vibrant eyes emit a glow
That drains my heart of love

These emotions taking over…
My, what a sight
My, my, what an interesting sight
Your tears
My blood
My color

Sorry, but things have changed
You’re not the girl I used to know
It’s killing me
And in the depths of my memories
Your stories echo from the past
Because your fears caught up with you at last

My final words are on the page
In black & white
Your vibrant eyes emit a glow
That drains my heart of life
