VERSE 1:
in the dark i see shadows glide on by
mind playing tricks
will i be caught out this time?
in the dark i am alone
with my thoughts and my fears
how am i to know
what is black from what is white?
CHORUS:
please don't wipe the colours from my mind
it's getting harder to wake up
in the morning light
please don't wipe the colours from my mind
we're falling out of love
and we're running out of time
VERSE 2:
in the dark i play movies in my head
mind whispers words
my courage never said
in the dark i wonder how
i lost all my feeling
how the butterflies
wept and turned to dust
CHORUS
MIDDLE:
and when the lights turn on
we'll have lost it all
stone cold strangers
lost amidst the fall
so tell the sun not to rise
let us have today
pretending our love
never went away
