Black and White

the timing isn't right yet here we are once again
we keep doing the same things...repeating our mistakes, this has to end!
our reckless behavior affects everyone
you know this and baby so do I
so why aren't we stopping?
why aren't we seeing the damage this will cause?
why are we going back and forth... acting as if nothing's wrong?
we say we know how crazy this is and how horribly in the wrong we are
though we know this, we don't care enough let it go, to let this...
"what we're doing" go

nothing is ever black and white...
to know wrong from right
we're a simple-minded couple bearing no remorse for our actions
building up false hope to hide the shame
you may think this feels right and continue to do so
but this doesn't feel right to me, not anymore
I'm guilty as hell for letting it go this far
becoming addicted to you touch, your voice , your presence
wanting to hear your lies
though I'm weak and cowardly when it comes to you...
I have to tell the truth; what we've done, allowing it to come to light
because the truth is...
nothing is ever black and white

I know I have no just cause for this
I have no right to claim innocence or say it's all his fault
I played as much a part in this affair as he...
I should have come forward beforehand yet I didn't
so I'm accepting the consequences and taking responsibility
god for give me and pardon my actions... but it seems my lover could care less
No, he doesn't care enough to clean up his own mess!
he'd rather it be kept hidden in the dark and wants to keep me silent
to continue to play my part
you know I hate myself for what we did but you don't...
you to feel guilty or appalled
you wont even take some part of the blame
you can try all you like but I refuse to stay silent!
too late to say " I wish it never happened", that I regret it
I could have stopped it even before it started...

nothing is ever black and white
to know wrong from right
we're a simple-minded couple bearing no remorse for our actions
building up false hope to hide the shame
you may think this feels right and continue to do so
but this doesn't feel right to me, not anymore
I'm guilty as hell for letting it go this far
becoming addicted to your touch, your voice, your presence
wanting to hear your lies
though I'm weak and cowardly when it comes to you...
I have to tell the truth; what we've done, allowing to come to light
because the truth is...
nothing is ever black and white

why won't you come forth and tell everyone about us?
why are you so against me coming clean; confess to cheating, betrayal and infidelity
you want us to go around playing house- pretending like everything's ok
like this isn't jacked-up already?
where is your humanity? you don't understand the misery we brought
and the destruction we will make
you don't understand how humiliated they will feel when they find out
your just as depraved, vindictive, and ruthless
ice cold heartless monster you always were... and to think you had changed
you told me you were no longer the cruel, superficial,
womanizer you used to be
no I see you were lying to me!
all that talk about how you know this is wrong, how you agree with me this isn't something we should keep doing as will hurt the ones we love...
every time I thought you felt the same way; guilty, regretful, ashamed and disgust!
To think I had a right to claim you just like you had no right to claim me or to make me yours physically!
you played me for a fool and now I know the truth... this is the real you, you wanted to keep me but never intended to let them no your dirty little secrets.
