Black and White

This is a song that I (Becca) wrote the other day, and my friend Cailyn put it to the piano. So this is what we have so far. It's just a tiny snippet, but I'd like your opinion!



Lyrics:

I'm not half the girl I used to be.

There's a shadow hangin over me.

I'm undoing the mistakes of yesterday.

I sit and think of what I've done wrong.

My life is like an unfinished song,

Unfolding as the worlds fly away.



Hopeless and restless, I paint my today.

Beautiful colors that soon fade away.

Replaced with a sketch of black and white.

Anxious and weary, I finish my song.

Finding out what I knew all along,

And re-writing the words of yesterday.



I always want what's best for me,

But there's more to everything I see.

I make mistakes that help me find my way.

I'm the writer of my own sad song.

And maybe it's all wrong.

Maybe I should write about better days.



Hopeless and restless, I paint my today.

Beautiful colors that soon wash away.

Replaced with a sketch of black and white.

Anxious and weary, I finish my song.

Finding out what I knew all along.

And re-writing the words of yesterday.



I paint a world of beauty unseen.

And the words are unclear of what they mean.

There's a fine line between dreams and reality.



Hopeless and restless, I paint my today.

Beautiful colors that soon fade away.

Replaced with a sketch of black and white.

Anxious and weary, I finish my song.

Finding out what I knew all along.

And re-writing the words of yesterday.



I don't want my world to turn to gray.
