I don't love you, and you don't love me
 But with no one else right now I'd rather be
 For since the day when we first met it seems that
 When it rains I only get half as wet

 We don't meet much we rather talk on the phone
 But you make me feel only half as alone
 You're not the girl of my dreams, though I may dream of you
 Don't really know what it is, but this much is true:

 You're a shade of grey when my world turns blue
 In a world of lies you are at least half way true
 You don't love me, well, but you kind of like me instead
 That's good enough to make me feel only half as bad

 Of all second choices you'd be my first
 Of all those bad solutions you are not the worst
 Amongst these ugly faces yours looks kind of cute
 And you have a way to lighten my mood

 We haven't got much in common, but that's one thing we share
 And we won't call it love when it's just an affair
 So while we are both waiting for the right one to come
 We may as well wait together until we find the one

 You're a shade of grey...

 Thanks for making me feel only half as bad
