My first GarageBand project. The drums are drum loops - everything else is me. I wrote this in 2012 and lyrics are below:

An  art  student  has  to  start  somewhere
That’s  why  she  started  with  me
She  quickly  became  a  master
Her  masterpiece?   My  misery
She  came  from   an  artistic  family 
And I  thought  she  would  color  my  world
I  thought  I  saw   a  rainbow  of  love  but  she  was  just  a  monochrome  girl
      
She’s  a    monochrome  girl,  she's one color through and though
Just  a  monochrome  girl  --- she’ll  only  make  you   blue       

 Pretty  as   a  picture,     her  form  was  a  work  of  art
She  used  my  frustration  to  build  a  foundation
For  her  collage  of  broken  hearts
It   would   make  such  a  pleasant  landscape
If  you  knew  just  what  she  wants
But  she’ll  leave  you  dry  in  the  desert waiting  for  a  renaissance

She’s  a  monochrome  girl and  I loved her before I knew
Just  a  monochrome  girl  - she’ll  only  make  you   blue       

She’ll   start  you  off  on  a  blue  period 
It  might  last  the  rest  of  your  life
She might be your inspiration,  but
She’ll  never  be  anyone’s  wife
 
Your  love  is  on  exhibition,  her  silence  is  her  critique
Your  once-precious  passion  has  fallen  from  fashion 
In  her  gallery  you’re  not  unique
She’ll  turn  your  light  into  shadow
The  colors  starting  to fade
Until your  face is  a  negative  space  in  the  composition  she’s  made

She’s a  monochrome  girl  - so don’t  trust  her  to  be  true
Just  a  monochrome  girl   -  she’ll only make you blue
She’s  a  monochrome  girl and I loved her before I knew
Just   a   monochrome  girl   
I   know   where   she’ll    take    you,  she’s  gonna  break  you
She’ll   only  make   you   blue
