Lyrics

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
