Black & White Lyrics - If I Was - The Staves

See myself in black and white 

It isn't done, it isn't right 

See it there before my eyes 

It's a sorry song, a sorry sight 

You sunk your teeth, you're in me deep 

I couldn't sing, I couldn't sleep 

Beat your chest with both your hands 

For all I was, for all I am, all I am 

Then all my thoughts solidify 

To sudden diamonds in my mind 

I lit the fuse so run and hide 

So honey sweet and [?] 

Black and white, it isn't right 

To hold me down and bleed me dry 

Cut the ties that keep me up at night 

Or make me see myself in black and white 

Well I can bite my lips, I can chew my hair 

But I'm still stone heavy and unprepared 

Like an empty chair I was always there 

Well I can bite my lips, I can chew my hair 

But I'm still stone heavy and unprepared 

Like an empty chair I was always there 

Black and white, it isn't right 

To hold me down and bleed me dry 

Cut the ties that keep me up at night 

Or make me see myself in black and white 

See yourself in black and white 

It isn't done, it isn't right
