Except the Grey Lyrics

The x's on, the calendar are,
losing their ink.
The zippers on your amber eyes, everynight are,
Losing their blink.

I count down the days here,
You wear out your ways here,
I can't see anything,
Except the grey,
And I'm sorry for that.

The same old fights,
Through the bathroom door,
Are losing their sheen.
The same old nights,
Up for hours,
Watching you sleep.

I count down the days here,
You wear out your ways here,
I can't see anything except the grey,
And I'm sorry for that.
Except the grey,
And I'm sorry for that,
So sorry for that.

I'm your, stab in the back,
And I'm so, sorry for that.
I'm sorry.

I count down the days here,
You wear out your ways here,
I can't see anything except the grey,
And I'm sorry for that.
Except the grey,
And I'm sorry for that,
So sorry for that.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is such a beautiful song. I just sounds like he's tired of the relationship and that nothing in it really matters anymore.
