Black is the color of the clothes I bought
I wear black when black fits me
But the only thing I'm mourning
Is the battles I've fought
The only thing I'm wearing
Is the black I bought
It goes well with the darker side of me
That's faded to gray
Since you appeared into my smile
Black tells my story, how far I've come
It's faded to gray
I haven't seen in awhile
Lack of color, lack of movement
Black from head to feet on me
I'm tired of being too bright
But the only thing I'm sick of
Is the battles we've fought
The only bright that lightens me
Is the angel I've caught
You go well with the darker side of me
That's faded to white
Since you ran into my life
Gray became lighter, as I became me
It's faded to white
My heart soars out of sight
Brightness from stagelights
Our curtain call is past
Lightning from white skies
Blocking all the black
See that I will last
See that we will last
With the black thrown offstage
And you, the actress in my play
You go well with the darker side of me
That's faded to white
Since you jumped into my life
You go well with the lighter side of me
That's finally in view
With the lightest side of you
