We were black and white, so clear, so sure Lines we thought we’d never blur But time, it crept in, started to fade What once was light, is lost in shade We tried to fight it, hold onto bright But every turn, we lost the light No matter how hard we try to stay Everything turns grey It’s the funny thing about black and white You mix them up, you lose the fight No matter how much white you lay You can’t outrun the shades of grey It’s a story of the truth and lies You blend them up, and compromise But when you mix, you can’t escape Now everything is grey We built our world in monochrome No colors, just a brittle tone But life, it weathers, wears it down Till all we know is lost somehow We tried to fix it, keep it clean But every truth became a dream No matter how hard we try to stay Everything turns grey It’s the funny thing about black and white You mix them up, you lose the fight No matter how much white you lay You can’t outrun the shades of grey It’s a story of the truth and lies You blend them up, and compromise But when you mix, you can’t escape Now everything is grey There’s no going back, the line is crossed What we had is gone, forever lost We’re living in between the shades Faded dreams we can’t erase It’s the funny thing about black and white You mix them up, you lose the fight No matter how much white you lay You can’t outrun the shades of grey It’s a story of the truth and lies You blend them up, and compromise But when you mix, you can’t escape Now everything is grey Everything is grey… No matter how hard we try to stay… Everything turns grey...
