Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
C G Am Em
In a world that’s black and white,
F C G
I’m just trying to survive,
C G Am Em
Conversations in my head,
F C G
Past mistakes are left unsaid.

(Chorus)
Am Em F C
I’m bleeding colors,
G Am F C
Lost among the others,
Am Em F C
In the mirror I discover,
G Am F C
A soul that’s like no other.

(Verse 2)
C G Am Em
In the crowd, a faceless name,
F C G
Life’s a brutal, endless game,
C G Am Em
In the shadows, I take cover,
F C G
My true self, I rediscover.

(Chorus)
Am Em F C
I’m bleeding colors,
G Am F C
Lost among the others,
Am Em F C
In the mirror I discover,
G Am F C
A soul that’s like no other.
