Mary Lambert
Monochromatic
[Verse 1]
Every morning it's the same thing
Sidewalks of people with who cares stares
[Pre-Chorus]
My heart's too big for this city
My heart's too big for my own body
My heart's too big for you to understand me
[Chorus]
When I close my eyes
I dream in color
But my life's in black and white
Will it ever get better
I'm not monochromatic
Nobody's monochromatic
[Verse 2]
Everybody's hurting
There's nothing more human than that
See the pieces of heart's missing
But watch how the light fills the cracks
[Pre-Chorus]
My heart's too big for the city
My heart's too big for my own body
My heart's too big for you to understand me
Please understand me
[Chorus]
When I close my eyes
I dream in color
My life's in black and white
But it'll get better
I'm not monochromatic
Nobody's monochromatic
Nobody's monochromatic
I'm not monochromatic
