Love's Not Worth It (My Songbook)

Black Hue

You took my bold, bright color 

And turned it into something that was no other 

Now dark storm clouds loom over me 

How could you add pain that easily 

I've found the perfect shade of gray for you 

Because all I have ever been is black and blue 

Even since you locked my heart into a troubled room 

You started from the lightest shade 

Darken it til you cut me deeper than a blade 

And now this black hue is something I would trade 

Now that you moved on I probably should too 

But I can't seem to escape your little white lies 

Every time I break away, you convince me with sometimes new

You felt bigger than the whole sky

I've found the perfect shade of gray for you 

Because all I have ever been is black and blue 

Even since you locked my heart into a troubled room 

You started from the lightest shade 

Darken it til you cut me deeper than a blade 

And now this black hue is something I would trade 

Show me your true colors 

And don't turn me over to the others 

I want you and only you 

It's embarrassing to think that I was so naive 

You met me exactly where I was meant to be 

So I'll raise my white flag before it's taken 

That's one thing that has always been forsaken 

I've found the perfect shade of gray for you 

Because all I have ever been is black and blue 

Even since you locked my heart into a troubled room 

You started from the lightest shade 

Darken it til you cut me deeper than a blade 

And now this black hue is something I would trade
