I play on the black keys where I don't have to worry much
It's already hard enough to sing a song about this
Some people try the white keys but the thinking hurts my head
So I move back here instead and it comes easier
And you know why you're the one who's on the greiving end
And just wave goodbye and wonder if you'll ever breathe again
That's why
I play on the black keys when it already takes my best
To pretend that this big mess isn't happening
I play on the black keys so I can close my eyes
Ty to picture you beside me singing harmonies
And you know why
One day I will try and explain it all
And if you dont mind I'd like some time to try and play it all
If I ever thought it would come to this
The bleeding and the pleading
Then I would've tried to say it better
Better
In my every thought I cherished you
And I mean it
Yeah
I mean it
Now I still think I hear you pulling in
You're pulling in
But you wouldn't know why
'Cause you're the one who's on the leaving end
Then you wave goodbye
If you saw me cry would you believe me then
That's why
I
I
And I
I
I
And I
I
I
I play on the black keys
Yeah
