The Shades of Grey

[Verse]
The lump in my throat reappeared today
I'm a fool for thinking it had gone away
But I'm hoping things are simpler than they seem
Because I'm getting used to normal dreams

[Verse]
The past few months I've put myself through hell
Not to mention other people have as well
But through losing touch I've gained the ability
To step back and practice empathy

[Chorus]
So believe me when I say I sympathize
When I see the worry in your eyes
I'd be lying if I said I didn't care
But I know there are things that you can do without
So we will work it out, because there's no doubt
That everything evened out when I met you

[Bridge]
These are only problems, dear - they're there to get solved
And I know it's easy to lose sight and blame yourself for it all
Because I've been walking barefoot on my own eggshells for years
And wondering how eyes so empty could produce so many tears

[Outro]
But we can work our way through the shades of grey
And there will be no need to feel down someday
But we can work our way through the shades of grey
And there will be no need to feel down someday

And each and every day I'll be here
