Black & White
written by: Sarah McLachlan
Lyrics
A distant cord
On the outside is forgotten
A constant need
To get along
And the animal awakens
And all I feel is black and white
The road is long
The memory slides
To the whole of my undoing
Put aside
I put away
I push it back to get through each day
And all I feel is black and white
And I’m wound up small and tight
And I don’t know who I am
Everybody loves you when you’re easy
Everybody hates when you’re a bore
Everyone is waiting for your entrance so
Don’t disappoint them
Unravel me
Untie this chord
The very centre of our union
Is caving in
I can’t endure
I am the archive of our failure
And all I feel is black and white
And I’m wound up small and tight
And I don’t know who I am
Everybody loves you when you’re easy
Everybody hates when you’re a bore
Everyone is waiting for your entrance so
Don’t disappoint them
Everybody loves you when you’re easy so
Don’t disappoint them
Don’t disappoint them
