[Chorus]
Gave away all my colours
I'm left with shades of blue
Can't handle your darkness
But they want all the shades of you
[Verse 1]
Nobody's perfect
Dig deep for the answers
Your loving's worth it
Don't hide from yourself
There is beauty in your darkness
So much colour in your soul
Seeping as I put it
I enter your black hole
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you afraid of the dark?
Could you bathe in my darkest?
Don't let it tear you apart
Oh, you're not alone
You're not alone
[Chorus]
Gave away all my colours
I'm left with shades of blue
Can't handle your darkness
But they want all the shades of you
[Verse 2]
Lost in the madness
Only answer to yourself
Flawless is sadness
If you can't accept yourself
There's purpose in your darkness
So much colour in your soul
Taken by the moment
Your beauty unfolds
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you afraid of the dark?
Could you bathe in my darkest?
Don't let it tear you apart
Oh, you're not alone
You're not alone
[Chorus]
Gave away all my colours
I'm left with shades of blue
Can't handle your darkness
But they want all the shades of you
Gave away all my colours
I'm left with shades of blue
Can't handle your darkness
But they want all the shades of you
[Bridge]
(But they want all the shades of you)
(But they want all the shades of you)
(But they want all the shades of you)
(But they want all the shades of you)
[Chorus]
Gave away all my colours
I'm left with shades of blue
Can't handle your darkness
But they want all the shades of you
Gave away all my colours
I'm left with shades of blue
Can't handle—

I had the bassline and the drum beat, but I felt I’d given as much as I could to the song and it wasn’t done yet. I was thinking about vocalists, and I’m quite good at kind of hearing somebody’s voice on it. That was it—I heard Poppy’s voice. I just knew she’d understand it musically. And as I sort...
