Verse 1
I’m good at making jokes out of bruises
Laugh it off, say “I’m used to it now”
I keep my heart in a box under my bed
With old receipts and the things I won’t talk about
I know my friends say I’m complicated
But I think I’m just tired of being explained
I don’t fall fast, I fall sideways
Trip over feelings, pretend I’m okay
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need saving
I need space to breathe
Stop asking why I’m quiet
There’s just too much in me
Chorus
I’m not black or white, I’m primary colors
Red when I love, blue when I’m done
Yellow smile when I’m breaking undercover
I feel everything, even when I run
I don’t fit in your boxes or your labels
I don’t say it right, but I mean it honest
I’m not hard to love, I’m just unstable
In a world that wants me flawless
Verse 2
I hate small talk, love late-night truths
When the lights are low and the masks fall through
I’ve kissed mistakes just to feel something
And called it love ‘cause I wanted to
I see people falling like dominoes
Hands held tight like they’re not afraid
I keep my distance, watch it from the door
Tell myself I’m better off this way
Pre-Chorus
I don’t play games
I just don’t chase
If I walk away
It’s self-defense
Chorus
I’m not black or white, I’m primary colors
Red when I love, blue when I’m numb
Yellow smile when I’m breaking undercover
I feel everything, even when I run
I don’t fit in your boxes or your labels
I don’t say it right, but I mean it honest
I’m not hard to love, I’m just unstable
In a world that wants me flawless
Bridge
Maybe I’m bad at love
Or maybe I just see too much
I hear the lies behind the promises
And I don’t know how to shut it up
I’d rather be alone than almost chosen
Rather be real than halfway held
If that makes me difficult
Then I guess I know myself
Final Chorus
I’m not black or white, I’m primary colors
Messy heart, but it’s still mine
I don’t need fixing, I need discovery
I’m a work in real time
I don’t fit in your boxes or your labels
I won’t dim down just to be wanted
I’m not hard to love, I’m just unstable
And I’m learning how to be honest
Outro
So if you love me, love me loud
And if you don’t, don’t stick around
I’m not broken, I’m uncovered
I’m just living in my colors
