Black And White by The Moderates Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Beggars and liars and cheaters and thieves
They all have something, something they need
You wanna take a stand first take a knee
But you might want to stop for the things unseen
[Verse 2]
If there was a moment if there was a day
If there was a time and a place would you say
All the emotions you build up inside
You can't turn and go, you can't run and hide
[Pre-Chorus]
But those are just memories
God I love the memories
God, you felt so close to me when we were still a family
Those are just melodies
God I love the melodies
God, you felt so close to me when we were still a family
[Chorus]
So don't try and tell me it's alright
‘Cause I see the scars you'll have your whole life
And I, I can tell you how much I need you
But you won't understand
Don't try and tell me it's alright
Your emotional state is so black and white
For the sake of your family you're going to have to try
‘Cause if you fall away then you'll die
[Verse 3]
The heart of the father means well for the sun
But the weight that it puts on my heart is a ton
When you retreat to that state of mind
It takes us all back, to stand in that line
[Verse 4]
Hoping and praying that you would pull through
Believe me when I say we're thinking of you
We're thinking of the way that you used to be
Humor and joy filled the room when you speak
[Pre-Chorus]
But those are just memories
God I love the memories
God, you felt so close to me when we were still a family
Those are just melodies
God I love the melodies
God, you felt so close to me when we were still a family
[Chorus]
Don't try and tell me it's alright
‘Cause I see the scars you'll have your whole life
And I, I can tell you how much I need you
But you won't understand
Don't try and tell me it's alright
Your emotional state is so black and white
For the sake of your family you're going to have to try
‘Cause if you fall away then you'll die
[Pre-Chorus]
Those are just the memories
God I love the memories
God, you felt so close to me when we were still a family
Those are just melodies
God I love the melodies
God, you felt so close
Those are just the memories
God I love the memories
God, you felt so close to me when we were still a family
Those are just melodies
God I love the melodies
God, you felt so close to me when we were still a family
[Outtro]
Don't try and tell me it's alright
Don't try and tell me it's alright
Don't try and tell me it's alright
Don't try and tell me it's alright
Those are just the memories
God I love the memories
God, you felt so close to me when we were still a family
Those are just melodies
God I love the melodies
God, you felt so close to me when we were still a family
Those are just the memories
God I love the memories
God, you felt so close to me when we were still a family
Those are just melodies
