And hate runs through my blood Well, my tongue was in love But my heart was left above I've got to be leaving now I thought I'd never be shot down But girl, I'm black and blue So beaten down for you Well, I'm beaten down in bloom Don't break away ♪ I waste away Don't break away ♪ And lay me out across the grey Hours, I should have kept at bay Well, I had no chance to get away I can't escape my own escape Even more when it's sweet to the taste Red stairs lead sense astray I look up and seek for faith Oh, but girl just lean over and say Well, lay me down Pull me out Well, take my crown again He's submerged in doubt ♪ But wait, I make my last request See this could be the best But blue, I need to rest See I been broken down So much has lost it now I just stop and say Girl, don't you worry 'bout a thing Baby blue
