I and I am to blame,
I sit here in shame.
I threw you away again.

And I, I send you my best.
I try to lay this to rest,
When you were my everything.

Shades of Grey,
And please fade away.
And oh what have I said in vain?

Hey, and I'll look away,
Pretend I'm okay.
I'm back on the road again.

And please, could it be true,
That I still love you,
And my loves unworthy.

Shades of Grey,
And please fade away.
And oh what if I said in vain?

Are you listening to my words?
And I saw your smile pass me by,
And landed far from me.
And what does that mean?

Shades of Grey,
And please fade away.
Oh what have I said in vain?

I and I ran away,
For I was afraid.
Afraid you'd be everything.
