Lyrics
Only Blue
She said her grief is to big to acknowledge mine
I can't make her hear a thing
I close the window so our heart's can collide
I can't make her hear a thing
I can't make her feel a thing
He feels he has no home to run to
I can't make him hear a thing
He finds a sandy beach his safe place to hide
I can't make him hear a thing
I can't make him feel a thing
I know there's something wrong
but I can't do anything
given the choice of black and white
which shade can i choose
when all i see is blue
He asks for time she wants an ending
I can't make them hear a thing
She says abandon he says taking a break
I can't make them hear a thing
I can't make them feel a thing
I know there's something wrong
but I can't save either one
given the choice of black and white
which shade can i choose
when all i see is blue
