World Of Color Eric Richards
We live in a world of color
But nothing�s brighter than
Our shades of grey, our shades of grey
We stare at one another
And pretend that it�s all ok
But we�re not the same, we're not the same
Just a mix of pink and red
In every single word you said
It turned to silence instead
I keep mixing black and blue
In everything I do to you
But your hurt is clear to my eyes, and I...
Well I see the color green
When he�s there in your dreams
Why can't we get this right
You know I need a mix of blue
To help me get back to you
I keep falling through
I wish I could turn this black to white
Take the pain from your eyes
And wash this grey from mine, tonight
I could always tell black from white
It�s just my heart, that�s colorblind
One shade behind, one shade behind
