Cry me black and blue

     And black and blue 

          And crimson tears will fall.

     Break apart this wanton fret

That consumes us all.

     Broke into my heart again

          To build a crumbled wall

     While I waste internally

Replaying what I saw.

 

Cry me black and blue

     And black and blue

          And scarlet veins will die,

     So strain against the waves

Or drown within the tide.

     Found another soul out there

          That made me need to hide

     Away from all the horrors here

And blind my only sight.

 

Cry me black and blue

     And black and blue

          And sanguine hands will shake

     Gripping onto sanity

That they’re trying to take.

     Mend a heart with fraying thread

          Then throw it in the lake

     Since nothing there will touch it

For your ego’s sake.
