Love in Black and White

[Verse 1]

You crowned me like a king

You swore the sun hung on my tongue

Then one cold and quiet morning

The crown came crashing down

You loved me black and white

No grey between the burn and the freeze

One night you were my everything

Next day you were the breeze

[Pre-Chorus]

And I keep sifting through the wreckage

Trying to find the girl I knew

Was she ever really standing there

Or just a ghost I blew

[Chorus]

You gave me heaven just to steal it

Made a temple out of thin air

You pulled the floor right from beneath me

And left me grieving in the glare

B-B-Black and white horizon

B-B-Black and white

[Verse 2]

I trace the lines you left me

Like scripture I can't read

Your love was a burning altar

Now it's ashes in the weeds

You needed me like oxygen

Then choked me out of breath

Strange how such a fever

Turns to silence at the last

[Pre-Chorus]

And I keep searching every shadow

For the woman in the glow

But gods and ghosts are liars

And neither one can go

[Chorus]

You gave me heaven just to steal it

Made a temple out of thin air

You pulled the floor right from beneath me

And left me grieving in the glare

B-B-Black and white horizon

B-B-Black and white

[Bridge]

I still hear the vows you whispered

I still feel the sting they leave

You said I was your forever

Then you taught me how to grieve

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

You gave me heaven just to steal it

Made a temple out of thin air

You pulled the floor right from beneath me

And left me grieving in the glare

B-B-Black and white horizon

B-B-Black and white
