The final track on the the anniversary edition of Plum’s 2019 album ‘Better In Blak.’ This version omits the final bridge and removes the swearing from each chorus.
[Verse 1]
Do you know what it feels like
To get calls in the middle of the night?
Saying, "You're not worth it", "You deserve it"
"Go on, have another drink"
Do you know what it feels like
To get stuck in the middle of a fight?
Screaming, "You're not worth it", "You deserve it"
"Go on, have another drink"
[Pre-Chorus]
But if I just keep quiet
I'll be the one who's lying too
Why should I keep hiding? Always crying
Tell me, what did I do?
[Chorus]
You took the colour from me
Darling, I'll get it back
You took the colour from me
But I look better in blak
If I knew what I know now
Maybe I would take it back
Forget that
I look better in blak
[Verse 2]
Do you know what it feels like
To be told that you are never right?
If I had lighter skin, maybe I would win
Does it make you want to think?
Do you know what it feels like?
'Cause I know what it feels like
If I had lighter skin, maybe I would win
Does it make you want to think?
[Pre-Chorus]
But if I just keep quiet
I'll be the one who's lying too
Why should I keep hiding? Always crying
Tell me, what did I do?
[Chorus]
You took the colour from me
Darling, I'll get it back
(I'll get it back, I'll get it back
I'll get it back, I'll get it back)
You took the colour from me
But I look better in blak
If I knew what I know now
Maybe I would take it back
Forget that
I look better in blak
