Colours fade to black and white

This is about my girlfriend and my inability to write when I am happy with my life.

Colours fade to black and white

 

I’ve been writing lines with ease

Speaking of everything wrong with this place

But trying to get this smile to the page

Is harder than anything I’ve ever done

And I don’t know why

 

So I sit alone in this room with the lights off

Only to wake hours later

To the cold of a black and white world

In this black and white world

You are just a dream

 

Because good things don’t last

I've seen the colours

But they're fading fast

As I’m dragged back to the reality

Of this black and white world

Where there is no you and me

 

And I’ve been staring at pages so hard

Just willing the words to flow

As I try to get out just a single verse

About the best thing to happen to me

 

And I know it’s just a dream

I know what the morning brings

But just knowing that you’ll be there

When I close my eyes tonight

Makes it so much easier

To breathe today

 

But good things don’t last

I've seen the colours

And they're fading fast

As I’m dragged back to the reality

Of the black and white world

Where there is no you and me

Because good things don’t last

I've seen the colours

And they're fading fast

I've seen the colours and they're fading

 

And I know it’s just a dream

I know I’m going to wake again

I can feel the world calling me

But I don’t want to go

No I don’t want to go

 

But my tired eyes open slowly

From the nightmare that told me

That my lady was but a dream

My tired eyes open to a world

Filled with the colours you’ve given me
