Black Board

The tears I cried for you that day

Are like the tears I cry today

The pain I feel inside reminds me

That I'm living every day

The thoughts of you that fill my head go

'Round and 'round like yesterday

And all the love I feel for you

Will bring me through another day

All around there are people telling me who I should be

I hate to disappoint you but these are the colors that I see

If there's just a many colors as there are human beings

Maybe I'm just color-blind and missing out on everything

Without a word I'm watching as my

Life keeps passing by

Desperately I'm reaching for the

Days I've left behind

And no matter what I try the

Colors won't collide

Painting on a canvas of the

Scars I tried to hide

I take the dreams that live inside my heart

And splash them across the nightmares in my head

With trembling hands I try to draw

The person that I wish that I could be

The feeling of your fingers on my skin

It lingers even after all these years

It's the only color that

Remains inside my heart

Every time I try to look into the shadows of your eyes

I feel that somewhere deep inside, another light within me dies

Every time I try to solve the mysteries hidden in your hands

Another hint is washed away and lost inside the hourglass

With each breath your memory fades to gray

Losing hold, you try to find the way

Now alone again as silence falls

The only sound is my laughter

I take the dreams that live inside my heart

And splash across the nightmares them in my head

I close my eyes and try to change

The person that I know that I've become

The echo of your words inside my mind

It lingers even after all these years

I pray that it will never fade

Inside my broken heart

With each breath your memory fades to gray

Losing hold, you try to find the way

Now alone again as silence falls

The only sound is my laughter

I take the dreams that live inside my heart

And splash across the nightmares them in my head

With trembling hands I try to draw

The person that I wish that I could be

The feeling of your fingers on my skin

It lingers even after all these years

It's the only color that

Will never change inside my heart
