Black & Blue
I thought I knew you better than this
Than to run around town with an open fist
But my minds been calmed by worse
Oh you. You're a beautiful mess
And I tried. Tried you on
Did my best not to fall for your charms
But you weaved a dirty little web
And I believed every word you said
You've got that golden tongue
Made me believe there was nothing wrong
I'm drunk and rosy eyed, you've got me for tonight
Lay me down on your broken bed
Paint these walls a love stained red
Oh you won't hurt me like you do
Black and blue
Holding onto to me too tight.
Your fingers digging in, I'm losing sight
I'm feeling weak with intensity
Oh God keep strong
You've got that golden tongue
Made me believe there was nothing wrong
I'm drunk and rosy eyed, you've got me for tonight
Lay me down on your broken bed
Paint these walls a love stained red
Oh don't hurt me like you do, don't hurt me like you do
Black and blue
Damaged and confused
What did you think I'd do?
Leave here silent and bruised
You must not have heard about me like I heard about you
Lay me down on your broken bed
Paint these walls a blood stained red
Don't make me hurt you
Don't make me make you black and blue
Than to run around town with an open fist
But my minds been calmed by worse
Oh you. You're a beautiful mess
And I tried. Tried you on
Did my best not to fall for your charms
But you weaved a dirty little web
And I believed every word you said
You've got that golden tongue
Made me believe there was nothing wrong
I'm drunk and rosy eyed, you've got me for tonight
Lay me down on your broken bed
Paint these walls a love stained red
Oh you won't hurt me like you do
Black and blue
Holding onto to me too tight.
Your fingers digging in, I'm losing sight
I'm feeling weak with intensity
Oh God keep strong
You've got that golden tongue
Made me believe there was nothing wrong
I'm drunk and rosy eyed, you've got me for tonight
Lay me down on your broken bed
Paint these walls a love stained red
Oh don't hurt me like you do, don't hurt me like you do
Black and blue
Damaged and confused
What did you think I'd do?
Leave here silent and bruised
You must not have heard about me like I heard about you
Lay me down on your broken bed
Paint these walls a blood stained red
Don't make me hurt you
Don't make me make you black and blue
