Black Dog

You follow me everywhere that I go
But you cannot walk in my shadow no more
And I just want to leave, I just want to go
Every time I get on my feet
You pull me back down to the floor
Mental health, mental health
Everybody's talking mental health
But I don't wanna talk
I swear this medication's meant to help
Walking with this black dog like it's been sent from hell
Maybe I need somebody to come and save me from myself
Which god do I blame? Another bottle for the pain
Feeling like I'm one problem away from going insane
We drink cause we have problems
We have problems cause we drink
I got so many problems I should probably see a shrink
But what's it even matter what I think
When this melancholy mongrel
Got me feeling like I'm jinxed
Got me feeling like I'm jinxed
Got me feeling like I'm jinxed
Black Dog Black Dog
Black Dog Black Dog
You follow me everywhere that I go
You cannot walk in my shadow no more
And I just want to leave, I just want to go
Every time I get on my feet
You pull me back down to the floor
Depression's got legs
The way it's running through my family
Granny had it, mummy had it
Left me in a dark hole like a bunny rabbit
I got some funny habits
Sometimes I wish this planet would just swallow me whole
I don't understand it
This ain't the way I planned it
Somebody give this dog a bone
Stop it from tryna follow me home
Got so many worries and I got so many woes
So much trouble in my soul
I wish this black dog would just leave me alone
I wish this black dog would just leave me alone
Black Dog, Black Dog
Black Dog, Black Dog
You follow me everywhere that I go
You cannot walk in my shadow no more
And I just want to leave, I just want to go
Every time I get on my feet
You pull me back down to the floor
Black Dog, Black Dog
Black Dog, Black Dog
Black Dog, Black Dog
