Oh, I've been low, losing my head
Underwater, out of breath
Hidden bruises in my brain, oh-woah
And all I want is their respect
But I can't take a compliment
It seems so stupid but I can't help it
When these voices take their effect

Oh, and I make myself, myself believe it
It's like I, I almost need it
Fighting with all of my demons, yeah

Until I'm black and blue, blue
I don't know why you do
Never seem to let it go
Until I'm black and blue, blue
And maybe I'm afraid
I can't seem to let it go
Until I'm black and blue

I got these dreams, I got this vision
My mind won't give me the permission
Whenever good things, they come a-knocking
All I want is to let them in

I try to make myself, myself believe it
God knows how, how bad I need it
Running 'round, I tear myself apart
Keep on going

Until I'm black and blue, blue
I don't know why you do
Never seem to let it go
Until I'm black and blue, blue
And maybe I'm afraid
I can't seem to let it go
Until I'm black and blue

Until I'm black and blue
'Til I'm black and blue, blue
Mhm

Until I'm black and blue, blue
I don't know why you do
Never seem to let it go
Until I'm black and blue, blue
And maybe I'm afraid
I can't seem to let it go
Until I'm black and blue
