Black or White:

Greg’s a cool bartender/bon vivant/musician/computergeek in Raleigh.

----------------------------------------------------------------

You haven’t heard a single word that I’ve said tonight.

All you’ve heard is the yourself say we’re falling apart, I think you’re right.

I hate to see it happen, you always said it would.

To you it’s always been black or white.

---

Maybe we could heal the hurt, just let me next to you.

You never knew just what I meant, when I said that I love you.

You’re searching simple answers to the problems that we face.

Nothing goes the way you want it to.

---

So I’m leaving you, I’m leaving you, the fight is gone from me.

I can’t handle expectations of how things ought to be.

So go ahead and spend your life in some romantic dream.

Fantasies with no room for me.

---

Not a question of survival, we’ll both get by.

We’ve been through this so many times, there is no need to cry.

We might have made it happen, we might have made it right.

Instead, I’m left to wonder why.
