I see in shades of grayYou see things in shades of redI feel the chill in the airBut build a fire I don't dareI don't care if my skin turns blueMaybe then... you'll finally get a clueI'm not the girl you think I amQuit treating me like a helpless lambI walk a thin line that shouldn't existBut your world was just so hard to resistI still see the world in shades of grayBut I now see it's people in shades of redYou're always the closestEven when I'm at my lowestEven when I can't bring myself to careYou're always thereNo matter how loud the hypeThings aren't always black and whiteThere's a whole world in betweenWith so many things still left to be seenI live in the shades of grayIt's where I return to at the end of the dayWith shades of red on my lipsAnd dripping from my fingertipsFeel the chill in the airBut I don't careIf my skin turns blueWould you finally get a clueI look up at the sky and stare As ice drops form in my hairI once lived in the shades of grayBut I now live in your world colored by the shades of red
