Lyrics Between You & Me – World In Grey

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 its 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

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 its toll (hardship takes its 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
