Between You & Me - World In Grey lyrics
[Between You & Me - World In Grey lyrics]
I'm so good at hiding what's underneath
But, I only reflect what I want you to see
I'll take what I can find
Reframe this state of mind
And ignore the words of spite
That make me feel worthless
Another day sleeping in too late
I repress the pain and hope I get some relief
Slowly starting to fade but
The colour remains
I am an optimist, and I see the world in grey
Discretion must have lost it's place
Between these dull white walls
To form a barricade to close an open mind
Distort the wrong from right
And reject who's unalike
'cause you can't accept
I've come unstuck
From all that I've been taught
You're out of luck
'Cause, I'm not what you want
You broke my trust
When you swore you'd protect me
But all I've got
Were these scarring memories
Another day sleeping in too late
I repress the pain and hope I get some relief
Slowly starting to fade but
The colour remains
I am an optimist, and I see the world in grey
On the edge I can finally see
Just how much your words cut through me
But, I won't be held back
By all I've ever known
So I pick myself up and stand fine on my own
I hate the permanence
But, I'll guess I'll work with it
It's stuck inside my head
And what can I say, I'll take it day-by day
In light of these open eyes
You still find a way to pollute my life
And it shows
I know that someday I'll make it out
But for now hardship takes it's toll
(hardship takes it's toll)
I hate the permanence
But, I'll guess I'll work with it
It's stuck inside my head
What the fuck can I say
I'll take it day-by day
Because I am an optimist and I
See the world in grey
Slowly starting to fade but
The colour remains
But, I only reflect what I want you to see
I'll take what I can find
Reframe this state of mind
And ignore the words of spite
That make me feel worthless
Another day sleeping in too late
I repress the pain and hope I get some relief
Slowly starting to fade but
The colour remains
I am an optimist, and I see the world in grey
Discretion must have lost it's place
Between these dull white walls
To form a barricade to close an open mind
Distort the wrong from right
And reject who's unalike
'cause you can't accept
I've come unstuck
From all that I've been taught
You're out of luck
'Cause, I'm not what you want
You broke my trust
When you swore you'd protect me
But all I've got
Were these scarring memories
Another day sleeping in too late
I repress the pain and hope I get some relief
Slowly starting to fade but
The colour remains
I am an optimist, and I see the world in grey
On the edge I can finally see
Just how much your words cut through me
But, I won't be held back
By all I've ever known
So I pick myself up and stand fine on my own
I hate the permanence
But, I'll guess I'll work with it
It's stuck inside my head
And what can I say, I'll take it day-by day
In light of these open eyes
You still find a way to pollute my life
And it shows
I know that someday I'll make it out
But for now hardship takes it's toll
(hardship takes it's toll)
I hate the permanence
But, I'll guess I'll work with it
It's stuck inside my head
What the fuck can I say
I'll take it day-by day
Because I am an optimist and I
See the world in grey
Slowly starting to fade but
The colour remains
