Shades of Gray

When your speaking to me so disrespectfully

I don't know what to say

When everything feels so heavy

Like it will never be okay

When everything's wrong and nothing is right

When all of your thinking becomes black and white

How do I hold on to hope?

How do I deal?

How do I cope?

How do I hold space for both of us when it doesn't feel okay?

How do I live in this house with no shades of gray?

Life is so filled with intrinsicies

I understand that 2 things can be true

And meaning can be found everywhere

I wish that you could say that too

Cause I'm alone all the time in this madness

And god doesn't seem to answer my call

I'm crying out in helplessness

How far can a person fall?

How do I hold on to hope?

How do I deal?

How do I cope?

How do I hold space for both of us when it doesn't feel okay?

How do I live in this house with no shades of gray?

I'm tired of all of the shaking

I'm tired of all of the lies

I'm tired of all of this fighting

Yet I don't want to say goodbye

See, the shades of gray is where empathy lives

It's where understanding calls home

It's the light in the dark

And the spark in our hearts

That makes it possible to stop feeling so alone

So, how do I hold on to hope?

And How do I deal?

How do I cope?

How do I hold space for both of us when it doesn't feel okay?

How do I live in this house with no shades of gray?

How do I live in this house with no shades of gray?
