Black Board – ナノ

The tears I cried for you that day are like the tears
I cry today
The pain I feel inside reminds me
that I’m living every day
The thoughts of you
that fill my head go ‘round and ‘round like yesterday
And all the love I feel for you will bring me through another day

All around me there are people telling me who I should be
I hate to disappoint you but these are the colors that I see
If there’s just as many colors as there are human beings
maybe I’m just color-blind and missing out on everything

Without a word I’m watching as my life keeps passing by
Desperately I’m reaching for the days I’ve left behind
and no matter what I try the colors won’t collide
painting on a canvas of the scars I tried to hide

I take the dreams that live inside my heart
and splash them across the nightmares in my head
With trembling hands I try to draw the person
that I wish that I could be
The feeling of your fingers on my skin
it lingers even after all these years
It’s the only color that remains inside my heart

Every time I try to look into the shadows of your eyes
I feel that somewhere deep inside, another light within me dies
Every time I try to solve the mysteries hidden in your hands
another hint is washed away and lost inside the hourglass

With each breath your memory fades to gray
Losing hold, you try to find the way
Now alone again as silence falls
the only sound is my laughter

I take the dreams that live inside my heart
and splash them across the nightmares in my head
I close my eyes and try to change the person
that I know that I’ve become
The echo of your words inside my mind
it lingers even after all these years
I pray that it will never fade inside my broken heart

With each breath your memory fades to gray
Losing hold, you try to find the way
Now alone again as silence falls
the only sound is my laughter

I take the dreams that live inside my heart
and splash them across the nightmares in my head
With trembling hands I try to draw the person
that I wish that I could be
The feeling of your fingers on my skin
it lingers even after all these years
It’s the only color that remains inside my heart
