Torn apart when I was young, they took my heart and took my song
Clipped my wings and caged my soul, a lonely child without a home
There were two that shared my love, forced to choose the one above
Broken home and a broken heart, darkness ripped the love apart

It paints my mind a shade of grey
The colours mix but never change
They bleed through this outer- shell
It makes my life a living hell... a living hell

The song I sang is dead and gone, it leaves me crippled with broken bones
Scarred for life I lost my smile, I lose the past in self-denial
Hide the truth with a shining face, black inside without a trace
Lost their love along the way, the Christian life was not their way

It paints my mind a shade of grey
The colours mix but never change
They bleed through this canvas of gold
And makes my life break the mold... I break the mold

I found a peace through a song, from the sky and open arms
But pain is here and tears still fall, through the hurt I've built a wall
A righteous boy with no blame, punished for a love the same
His life was theirs and not his own, they never saw the pain he owned

It paints my mind a shade of grey
The colours mix but never change
They bleed through this outer shell
It makes my life a living hell...
It paints my mind a shade of grey
The colours mix but never change
They bleed through this canvas of gold
And makes my life break the mold...
I break the mold
