"Eyes on me a sec, everyone." "No matter what the votes say..." "...they don't get to tell you what this was." "I'm proud, of each and all of you..." "So, fight with everything you got." "...Okay!" "One last time, everyone." [Verse] You heard a song of mine somewhere that wasn't quite here, You asked me if I felt like joinin'. Walked in thinkin' it was just for a while. Saw applications open and sent my hopes in. Didn' even think I really stood a chance The whole thing kicks off and I'm askin'... Am I really here in this room? With all of you? Wow... just... ...wow. [Pre-Chorus] I'd made my mind up way before about people and the pain, They won' ever get to hurt me again. Didn' say it out loud, just pretendin' I'm fine. Cuz when you stop expectin' things, it just saves you a lotta time. [Chorus] Turns out I can still feel all of it. Turns out I can still let somebody in — After all the pain and breakin'. After all the hurt and betrayin'. I'm still openin' this painful door. This is the only part I didn' plan for. Ain't all the songs. Ain't all the votes. It's all of me. Lovin' all of you. (it ain't all gray) [Verse] Life was always painted in black and gray, Then got in a team of people I'd never met, Somehow drawin' myself brighter next to them before I even wondered if I would fit here. That's just something I do apparently, yeah, And it wasn't just one big thing after that. It's a Tuesday and somebody's bad day. It's a buncha people still up at 4am, messing around playin' games. It's somebody askin' what's your song about, It's someone askin' how's your day been. [Pre-Chorus] I've cried more in these past weeks than I did in all the years I bluffed being alright. Still I'm gonna sing this one last time But I ain't breakin', but I ain't hurtin'. It ain't sadness, It's all of my longin' and, I'm gonna miss all of you. [Chorus] Turns out I can still feel all of it. (it ain't all gray) Turns out I can still let somebody in (it ain't all gray) After all the pain and breakin'. After all the hurt and betrayin'. I'm still openin' this painful door, and nobody's really tryin' to break in. Ain't all the songs. Ain't all the votes. It's all of me. Lovin' all of you. [Breakdown] Typed it out. Read it back. Deleted half of it. Typed it again. Had my thumb on the thing longer than I wanna admit, because if I do send this You'll get to see all of me. The pretty, the bad... and the ugly. So please, don't look away... (It ain't all gray) [Hook] It ain't all gray. It ain't all gray. Somebody coulda told me sooner Because it's so many colours. [full marching band enters, brass, choir] It ain't all gray. It ain't all gray. Somebody coulda told me sooner Because it's so many colours. [Bridge] So if this is gonna be my last song and if the votes go the way they do and I ain't gettin' on this stage again Lemme say I ain't going anywhere. I'm gonna be right in there with all of you, hypin' about somebody else's song like it's one of my own. Which they all kinda are now. That's the thing nobody tells you. You're all kinda my family now. Ain't all the songs. Ain't all the votes. It's all of me. Lovin' all of you! [Final Chorus] Turns out I can still feel all of it It ain't all gray turns out I can still let somebody in It ain't all gray all of me, after all of this I ain't all gray I'm standing here holding the door open wide Because I'm made of so many colours and there's so many more seepin' through. It ain't all gray. It ain't all black. It ain't even close. [Break] I ain't all gray... [Final Hook] I ain't all gray! I ain't all gray! Somebody coulda told me sooner — Because now I'm made of so many colours! [Outro] Took me thirty-four years and all of your colours. So lemme say... Thank you. For the laughs and the cries, For the lifts and the falls, For everything. Thank you, to all of you.
