lyrics

In black and white things don’t show reality
The pictures bend they smudge they smear
I know I don’t face actuality
I never want to go back to that year

I need you more now
I don’t know how
But I can show you
I don’t know what to do

The blankets cold where you left it
The closet’s dark you don’t know what’s inside
You talk such big talk but you don’t back it
I know you just want to hide

I need you more now
I don’t know how
But I can show you
I don’t know what to do

I’m the only one who’s losing
Fighting trying crying bruising
Try and try and swim again
Lessons never learned my friend
