Black & White - Sarah McLachlan

Unravel me

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 …
