Black & Blues

[Verse]
Changed the locks
Blocked your calls
Painted all the windows and the walls
I think more clearly in the dark

Tried to walk
In your shoes
They only gave me blisters and a bruise
There’s just somethings you can’t grow into

[Pre-Chorus]
Empty threats
Hang over my head
Words can’t cut me
And there’s no more pain to throw
All we got are sticks and stones, so

[Chorus]
Don’t be gentle
Baby leave me black and blue
That’s the only way, that I’ll feel something for you

Just be careless baby
Leavе me black and blue
Cause, maybе if we feel it
There’d be somethin to lose

[Post-Chorus]
Got me singin’ blues
Black and blues
Black and blues

[Verse 2]
Burnt through all my cigarettes
Didn’t even take a single drag
I just watched them turn to ash

Your skin is cold
Your eyes are black
You smile like a statue
When you laugh
My hearts about to crack

[Pre-Chorus]
We’re silhouettes
Getting upset
And getting even
I wish the words left bullet holes
But all we got are sticks and stones

[Chorus]
Don’t be gentle
Baby leave me black and blue
That’s the only way, that I’ll feel something for you

Just be careless baby
Leave me black and blue
Cause, maybe if we feel it
There’d be somethin to lose

[Post Chorus]
Got me singin’ blues
Black and blues
Black and blues

Black and blues
Black and blues
