NUMBER DISCONNECTED

The past searched me hard

Stood right up next to me

Trying to convince me

I was still part of it

Still romancing it

Still black and white in it

The words slipped past

The silence in between

And you tried to tell me

I was still on your mind

I was still a part of you

I was black and white to you

Your hands started reaching

Grabbing me, feeling me up

But they were blocked

By the ticking of the clock

You were part of what used to be

So black and white to me

If I gave my love back to you

Gave the past another chance

Would you still overwhelm me

With your messed up chemistry

Would you whisper some color

Onto our colorless tapestry

I hate regret, to feel defeated

And when the future called me up

  Telling me the past was dialing

Ringing my number once again

I prayed it was true, please be true

But then I realized, I don’t need you

It’s funny really, cause right now

I feel stronger alone, on my own

So I made a promise to myself

To paint over all the black and white

And live the rest of my life in color

Leaving the past in the past
