Colors Outside the Lines (feat. Thalia King)

Title: "Colors Outside the Lines" (Verse 1) Walking hand in hand down a crowded street, Laughing loud, feeling free, hearts in sync, oh so sweet. But the whispers start, and the stares cut deep, "Not the way you should be," judgment sharp and cheap. (Verse 2) He’s in love with him, she’s in love with her, Simple as the sky, clear as summer air. But the world demands they fit its mold, A story too old, a lie they’ve been sold. (Pre-Chorus 1) They paint their love in colors bright, Why does it burn the blinded eyes? (Chorus) Different is dangerous, different is strange, Different is breaking their prison of shame. Normal’s just a word for walls they create, To keep out the light, to lock out the brave. We’re more than the lines they draw in the sand, I’ll take my heart in my own two hands. (Verse 3) "Freaks," they shout, like it’s something new, Like love has rules, like they get to choose. But every word just fuels their fire, A spark in the dark, rising higher. (Verse 4) She kisses her girl where the streetlights glow, He holds his man when the cold winds blow. No apologies, no fading away, They’ll love who they love, come what may. (Pre-Chorus 2) The road is long, but they’re not alone, A family forged from hearts like stone. (Chorus) Different is dangerous, different is strange, Different is breaking their prison of shame. Normal’s just a word for walls they create, To keep out the light, to lock out the brave. We’re more than the lines they draw in the sand, I’ll take my heart in my own two hands. (Bridge 1) They pack their bags with trembling hands, A map to a place where love isn’t damned. (Bridge 2) Through the trees, past the lies, A village shines under open skies. (Bridge 3) No more hiding, no more fear, Just the sound of laughter ringing clear. (Verse 5) Here, the stars don’t care who you kiss, Here, the only rule is to exist. (Outro) Different is beautiful, different is free, Different is the only way to be.
