Black and Blue - The Lake Poets

There are those of us who deal with darkness

I see it in you and I feel what you feel

A pain you can’t describe, an ache, a feeling

That there are wounds and sores that never heal

Once in a while, you try to hide it

Oh, but most of the time, they always know

Most of the time, you will deny it

You pray that one day, all pain will go

But when he hits you, I feel it

When he hits you, I hear you cry

When I’m older, he will not hit you

When I’m older, I’ll watch him die

Listen closely and you will hear

I see your voices screaming to get out

Ain’t it funny, the ones that hurt us

Are the ones that we care most about

When he hits you, I feel it

When he hits you, I hear you cry

When I’m older, he will not hit you

When I’m older, I’ll watch him die

When I’m older, I’ll watch him die

When I’m older, I’ll watch him die
