Every morning it's the same thing

Sidewalks of people with who cares stares

My heart's too big for this city

My heart's too big for my own body

My heart's too big for you to understand me

[Chorus]

When I close my eyes

I dream in color

But my life's in black and white

Will it ever get better

I'm not monochromatic

Nobody's monochromatic

Everybody's hurting

There's nothing more human than that

See the pieces of heart's missing

But watch how the light fills the cracks

My heart's too big for the city

My heart's too big for my own body

My heart's too big for you to understand me

Please understand me

[Chorus]

When I close my eyes

I dream in color

My life's in black and white

But it'll get better

I'm not monochromatic

Nobody's monochromatic

Nobody's monochromatic

I'm not monochromatic
