[Verse 1] I learned to disappear in daylight Make a virtue out of being numb Turn every wound into a costume Smile like nothing had been done I kept the mirrors facing outward So nobody could look too deep Built a palace out of silence Then wondered why I couldn't sleep I made a habit out of leaving Before anybody saw the cracks Called it freedom, called it wisdom Anything but wanting someone back Then you found me in the static Where I'd buried every wish And all the color came back slowly From a monochrome kiss [Pre-Chorus] You never promised me forever Never swore you'd make me whole You just touched me without taking And somehow that undid it all [Chorus] I was melting away and breaking But then you tenderly saved me from myself Fate is the game we're playing And it all starts with a monochrome kiss Black and white until you found me One touch and the whole world shifts If destiny wants to claim me Let it start with a monochrome kiss [Verse 2] I wore ruin like religion Every flaw rehearsed by heart Kept control in perfect order While everything came apart I knew exactly how to charm them How to make a room believe How to give them what they wanted Without letting anyone keep me But you never chased the performance Never praised the polished skin You looked past every pretty answer And found the frightened thing within I should've hated being seen there Should've vanished, should've slipped Instead I stayed beneath your fingers For another monochrome kiss [Pre-Chorus] You never promised me forever Never swore you'd fix my soul You just loved me without ownership And somehow that felt whole [Chorus] I was melting away and breaking But then you tenderly saved me from myself Fate is the game we're playing And it all starts with a monochrome kiss Black and white until you found me One touch and the whole world shifts If destiny wants to claim me Let it start with a monochrome kiss [Post-Chorus] Gray skies, pale light Your mouth against mine No heaven, no sign Just yours and mine Gray skies, pale light One second like this The whole world beginning Inside one kiss [Verse 3] Maybe I was never empty Maybe I was only scared Maybe every locked door in me Was waiting to be met with care Maybe fate isn't a prison Maybe choice can still exist Maybe all the stars were watching When you leaned in for that kiss I don't need a grand salvation Don't need angels at my door I just need the way you hold me Like I'm worth returning for If tomorrow takes the color If the whole world loses grip I'll remember how you found me With that monochrome kiss [Bridge] Don't make me sacred Don't make me clean Don't call me something I've never been I don't need saving The way they mean I need you gentle I need you real If I am chaos Then let me be If I am fractured Still stay with me No absolution No promised bliss Just your hands steady And one more kiss [Final Chorus] I was melting away and breaking But then you tenderly saved me from myself Fate is the game we're playing And it all starts with a monochrome kiss Black and white until you found me Now every shade exists If destiny comes looking Tell her I already chose this I was fading into nothing Now your fingerprints persist Let heaven keep its colors I want this monochrome kiss I was melting away and breaking Now I know what I had missed Not rescue, not redemption Just your monochrome kiss [Outro] Black sky White noise Your touch My choice No prophecy No witness Just this Monochrome kiss
