My tears don't let my flowers fade 
My song fell silent in the shade 
I'm numbed I'm standing still in fear 
All that I lived for disappears 
The air I breathe is getting close 
I'm choking, feeling so exposed 
 [bad word] to kneel here in the dirt 
To everyone I've ever hurt

Black would be white 
If you would only hold my hand 
Black would be white 
I'd be yours 
Wrong would be right 
If you would only touch my hand 
Night would be light 
I'd be yours

I tried so hard to keep the flame 
From being put out by the rain 
That was my poor and last attempt 
The darkest dream I've ever dreamt 
My sun is black, my rain is blood 
Mixed in the mourning-colored flood 
It's [bad word] you won't know heaven well 
If you have never been in [bad word] 

Black would be white 
If you would only hold my hand 
Black would be white 
I'd be yours 
Wrong would be right 
If you would only touch my hand 
Night would be light 
I'd be yours
