about

I wrote this song after moving to my new place, and being depressed at how difficult it is to record here while also realizing that my last home was the only place I'd ever lived where I got to pick the colors of the walls. This apartment is particularly depressing because it's even more colorless than most, with a black and white kitchen. So I wrote about grieving the loss of my family and my home. This remix was done for Valentine's Day 2021.

lyrics

Driven out of my colorful home by the homewrecker and you
Now I’m living all alone with everything to do
20 years of hopes and fears and all the tears to sort through
All because it was too much for ya to stay true

Had to move out of my place in the dead of night
Carload after carload for your ridiculous deadline
You didn’t care it wasn’t fair or if I was doin alright
Stuck with your work cause you’re such a jerk instead of a nice guy

Now I’m living my life without color
Cause you went to the arms of another
It’s just the whitewashed walls of the apartment halls
And not the warmth of my own home

Living my life without color
Black and white kitchen cupboards
Everything’s gray since you went away,
Since you decided to roam

Went from tons of natural lighting to only four windows
Still sitting here and pining for the sunshine that you stole
Well you say you never loved me, and I have to say it shows
Why’d you string me along all these years? Why was I the quarry that you chose?

Now there’s blank stares on the neighbors, not the brightness of a smile
Everyone is new here; no one I’ve known for quite a while
No friendly faces in all the spaces since you decided to file
All alone in my new home awaiting the big trial

Now I’m living my life without color
Cause you went to the arms of another
It’s just the whitewashed walls of the apartment halls
And not the warmth of my own home

Living my life without color
Black and white kitchen cupboards
Everything’s gray since you went away,
Since you decided to roam

So many people movin' in and out
Always hear the neighbors when they start to shout
Sounds like elephants live above my head
And the screaming from next door could wake the dead

Now I’m living my life without color
Cause you went to the arms of another
It’s just the whitewashed walls of the apartment halls
And not the warmth of my own home

Living my life without color
Black and white kitchen cupboards
Everything’s gray since you went away,
Since you decided to roam
Now everything’s gray since you went away,
Since you decided to roam
