[Verse 1] I thought I was immune to falling Thought I had it all controlled Then you smiled and took my hand And I lost my very soul But you belonged to someone else A man who owned what I could see So I walked into the darkness Where the light could never reach me [Chorus] Living in the gray now Where the colors used to be Searching for a reason To believe in what I see Every day's the same shade Of the pain I can't release Living in the gray now Where there used to be peace [Verse 2] Work became my only shelter Success my only friend I could teach them how to focus But I could never tell them when The world went dark around me And why I stopped believing In anything but numbers And the art of never feeling [Chorus] Living in the gray now Where the colors used to be Searching for a reason To believe in what I see Every day's the same shade Of the pain I can't release Living in the gray now Where there used to be peace [Bridge] So I ran to the wilderness Where the silence matches me With my dogs and my solitude And my books by the fire's heat But even Alaska's beauty Couldn't penetrate the haze Of a heart that stopped seeing Past the gray, past the gray [Verse 3] Then fate brought you back to me In the place I thought was safe And I saw you with another Felt the same familiar ache But the gray began to shatter When you called out from the door And I saw you really seeing me Like you had so long before [Outro] No more living in the gray now I can see the world in color Every shade and every hue Since I found my way back to you No more gray, no more gray The colors found their way back home No more gray, no more gray I'm not walking this alone [End]
