Black and Blue

Listening to the sounds that only remind me
Of times that past
Childrens laughter fills the air with hope
I guess time flew faster than we ever could

Another night is passing me by
I can't sleep the shadows seem too alive
I hear the door, my heart skips a beat
I play dead, I don't want you to see me, feel me
Let me fall asleep

You'll take my hand
You'll fool me further
I guess I'll find my way back home

My heart is black and blue from all the beating
My skin bruised, I lack of love
You stole my strength with all the hate
You offered as love
It's long gone

Can't you see that your strength is poor
It's not keeping me here, no more
For a shot of your love
I used to crawl for more
