Black & White

Music and Lyrics by Sarah McLachlan

 unravel me
 a distant cord
 on the outside is forgotten
 a constant need

 to get along
 and the animal awakens
 and all I feel is black and white

 the road is long
 the memory slides
 to the whole of my undoing
 put aside
 I put away
 I push it back to get through each day
 and all I feel is black and white
 and I'm wound up small and tight
 and I don't know who I am

 everybody loves you when you're easy
 everybody hates when you're a bore
 everyone is waiting for your entrance so
 don't disappoint them

 unravel me
 untie this chord
 the very centre of our union
 is caving in
 I can't endure
 I am the archive of our failure

 and all I feel is black and white
 and I'm wound up small and tight
 and I don't know who I am

 everybody loves you when you're easy
 everybody hates when you're a bore
 everyone is waiting for your entrance so
 don't disappoint them

 everybody loves you when you're easy so
 don't disappoint them

 don't disappoint them ...
