[Verse 1] That faded picture on my phone Soft grain You're sittin’ all alone Hair fallin’ over your left eye Still frame And the whole world quiets No glitter dress No neon sign Just every curve in silver light You say you’re better when you shine But I get lost in your grayscale side [Chorus] You’re beautiful in black and white Every shadow Every line I see more of you when colors hide Baby You’re beautiful in black and white Monochrome But you’re alive In my eyes That’s where you’re brightest (oh yeah) You’re beautiful in black and white [Verse 2] Little half-smile you never post Caught between a laugh and a joke Your chipped nail paint That wrinkled coat Somehow that’s the you I know most Printed it out Taped to my wall Tiny crease from when it would fall You say it makes you look too plain I say it shows your every flame [Chorus] You’re beautiful in black and white Every shadow Every line I see more of you when colors hide Baby You’re beautiful in black and white Monochrome But you’re alive In my eyes That’s where you’re brightest (yeah) You’re beautiful in black and white [Bridge] Let the colors fade Let the noise fall back Just the soft outline of you Like that If the world turns down its light I’ll still see you Clear as night (hey) [Chorus] You’re beautiful in black and white Every shadow Every line I see more of you when colors hide Baby You’re beautiful in black and white Monochrome But you’re alive In my eyes That’s where you’re brightest You’re beautiful in black and white
