🎵 Shades of Gray *(A song of introspection, empathy, and nuance)* VERSE 1 I said the wrong words, did the wrong things Didn’t set out to hurt you, but I clipped your wings And maybe I messed up more than you But don’t pretend you didn’t hurt me too PRE-CHORUS We were caught in silence, caught in pride Too many whispers, too much we let slide It wasn’t all lies, wasn’t all true It wasn’t just me, it wasn’t just you [CHORUS] It’s not so black and white There’s truth in both the wrongs and rights We loved, we lost, we looked away So much got buried in the shades of gray I wasn’t just a villain in your story And you weren’t just a victim in mine We danced between the lines In the shadows of the truth we left behind [VERSE 2] You were loyal, I was blind We both made moves that crossed a line Maybe I should’ve fought for us But you let others decide what love was [PRE-CHORUS] We said forever, then broke it fast Chained to the hurt we couldn’t outlast You blamed me loud, I hurt in quiet Both of us trapped in a peace turned riot [CHORUS] It’s not so black and white There’s truth in both the wrongs and rights We loved, we lost, we looked away So much got buried in the shades of gray I wasn’t just a villain in your story And you weren’t just a victim in mine We danced between the lines In the shadows of the truth we left behind [BRIDGE] They’ll never truly know what we survived The secrets we kept just to feel alive Not every scar was one I gave Not every tear was mine to save [BREAK] [ALT CHORUS (SOFTER)] It’s not so black and white We both were wrong, we both were right Still I wish we found a way To meet somewhere inside the gray [CHORUS] It’s not so black and white There’s truth in both the wrongs and rights We loved, we lost, we looked away So much got buried in the shades of gray I wasn’t just a villain in your story And you weren’t just a victim in mine We danced between the lines In the shadows of the truth we left behind [OUTRO] I wasn’t perfect, never claimed to be But I wasn’t the only one lost at sea In all that we were, and all we became There’s no one to blame… Just shades of gray Just shades of gray Just shades of gray [Ad lib]
