You taught me
That black can be white, and white can be black
Sometimes
You saved me
From thinking too straight, at every corner
Of my life
You washed me from that guilt
Of trying to fit
In one clean tidy space
When truly the fact is, that
Everybody is gray, made in colorful shades, noone's just perfect
Everyone just like me, trying to get by and pretending to know it all
Everybody is gray, made in colorful shades, noone's just perfect
Everyone just like me, trying to get by and pretending to know it all
You gave me
The passport to a better
Love
True to myself
A love with beautiful pictures and brighter promises
You cured me
From that little freak obsession of mine
Of setting up boxes and then locking myself
Inside
Everybody is gray, made in colorful shades, noone's just perfect
Everyone just like me, trying to get by and pretending to know it all
Everybody is gray, made in colorful shades, noone's just perfect
When will it be my turn, to shine on that beautiful
Ray of grayness
Do you even realize
What it means
To be gray
It's like I was born again
In this shady, zany world, where
Everybody is gray, made in colorful shades
Noone's just perfect
Everyone just like me, trying to get by and pretending to know it all
Everybody is gray, and let me just pick, my own shining shade
'Cause I want to belong, in this imperfect life
Just like you, belonging here, with me
