Sarah McLachlan › Lyrics › Black & White

Unravel me, a distant cord
On the outside is forgotten
A constant need to get along
And the animal awakens
And all I feel is black and white

The road is long
The memory slides
To the whole of my undoing
Put aside, I put away
I push it back to get through each day

And all I feel is black and white
And I'm wound up small and tight
And I don't know who I am

Everybody loves you when you're easy
Everybody hates when you're a bore
Everyone is waiting for your entrance
So don't disappoint them

Unravel me, untie this chord
The very center of our union
Is caving in, I can't endure
I am the archive of our failure

And all I feel is black and white
And I'm wound up
Small and tight
And I don't know who I am

Everybody loves you when you're easy
Everybody hates when you're a bore
Everyone is waiting for your entrance
So don't disappoint them

Everybody loves you when you're easy
So don't disappoint them
Don't disappoint them
Don't disappoint them
Don't disappoint them
. . .
