Gray

from Brutally Honest by Yours Truly

lyrics

I saw your face today, and now I'm falling apart, in the same way as when I gave you my heart.
And now, I'll never know you and me, the last time I saw you we were meant to be.

Don't you know that I'd kill to make you stay?
You had it all and you walked away.
Shut it down let it fade to gray.

You said your peace that night, but then it all fell apart.
Save me the trouble, and let's go back to the start.
I don't blame you, God knows life can get rough. I wish I could save you, but that's not the story for us.
Should I lie and say that everything's just fine? Believe me we've all dropped a line.

Don't you know that I'd kill to make you stay?
You had it all and you walked away.
Shut it down let it fade to gray.
Tell me, is it cold in my heart where you lay?
You saw the world in a different way.
Now the colors are gone all I see is gray.

I fade to gray, I fade gray.

I've seen the bottom of you in the depths of me.
And for the last eight months you've said nothing in my dreams.
If I knew why I could finally breathe, but I'm left here struggling.
I am knee deep in a storm of tragedy.
So close to the waves just rushing over me.
I'll never know why so I'll never breathe.
I can't blame you for saving me.

If I'm being honest, well I'm still lost.
You've done what you've done now I'm paying the cost.
If I'm being honest, my God I need you here.
It's a miracle I made it through the year.
