Blacknwhite is the first single from Left At London’s new album You Are Not Alone Enough.
Nat has always been public about having BPD, a disorder that regularly leads to unstable relationships and emotions. People with BPD often have black and white thinking, especially about their relationships, h...
PART I
[Verse 1]
I guess that I'm okay
Well, I'm not dying
I guess that I have spent a lot of time alone
For trying
I guess that you're away
'Cause you're busy
At least if you're to say that we're still friends
Pretend you miss me
'Cause I knew you were love when at your best
But maybe if I hadn't been depressed
We'd go out more
Ah, yeah
I got a broken heart but it still works
But even if it's beating it still hurts
'Cause now I still got ninety-nine more problems
To account for
[Chorus]
And I bet all your friends say, "I'm glad that she's gone"
Like you're the only excuse I had friends to lean on
But was it just in my head I was loved all along?
Or, did you love me then?
And did they love me then?
And could you love again?
[Verse 2]
(I can lose a lover)
But I cannot lose a lover and a friend
(I can find another)
But I'll never find another you again
I've been splitting 'cause it's better than admitting
That it's something that I can't control
I was livid, what you did was nothing easily forgiven
Yet I couldn't let go
[Chorus]
And I bet all your friends say, "I'm glad that she's gone"
Like you're the only excuse I had friends to lean on
But was it just in my head I was loved all along?
Or, did you love me then?
And did they love me then?
And could you love again?
PART II
[Intro]
Ha
No, no, no
(No, no, no)
[Verse 3]
I saw you at the bar where we used to drink
I wish that I could change the way that I think
I tell you, "It's black and white
And if we start a war, could it be another night?"
Then I proceeded to make a scene
You said, "We need to heal before we can speak"
I said, "But it's already more than a week
Since you and I talked before
And I don't know if I would wanna take anymore"
But now I understand what you mean
[Chorus]
Before you say goodbye
Did you see how you hurt me?
But I hurt you too
Then we both got so blue
We had reasons to cry
I had reasons to worry
But you worried too
Sorry if I worried you
[Verse 4]
'Cause I've been a mess, I've been depressed
I've been neglected, I've been obsessed
I've been neglectful, I can admit it
My future looks brighter whenever you're in it
But you probably won't be, I get it
Yeah, you probably won't, I admit it
The ice that we skate is the thinnest
My skin is the thinnest, my patience the thinnest
I'm healing, I'll say when I'm finished
I wish I were finished, I got more to say
I know that I got more to say, yeah
I swear that I got more to say
I know things that you hid from me, know my fragility
Know that's the reason you done what you did to me
Even though my borderline has been killing me
I can't go back to the mental facility, no
[Chorus]
Before you say goodbye
Did you see how you hurt me?
But I hurt you too
Then we both got so blue
We had reasons to cry
I had reasons to worry
But you worried too
Sorry if I worried you, oh
[Outro]
I want to be believed in
Doesn't got to be you
