My tears don’t let my flowers fade,
My song fell silent in the shade.
I’m numbed, I’m standing still in fear
All that I lived for disappears.
The air I breathe is getting close,
I’m choking, feeling so exposed.
I’ve come to kneel here in the dirt
To everyone I’ve ever hurt.
Black would be white
If you would only hold my hand,
Black would be white
I’d be yours.
Wrong would be right
If you would only touch my hand,
Night would be light
I’d be yours.
I tried so hard to keep the flame
From being put out by the rain.
That was my poor and last attempt
The darkest dream I’ve ever dreamt.
My sun is black, my rain is blood
Mixed in the mourning-colored flood.
It’s true you won’t know heaven well
If you have never been in hell.
Black would be white
If you would only hold my hand,
Black would be white
I’d be yours.
Wrong would be right
If you would only touch my hand,
Night would be light
I’d be yours.
Black would be white
If you would only hold my hand,
Black would be white
I’d be yours.
Wrong would be right
If you would only touch my hand,
Night would be light
I’d be yours.
