And hate runs through my blood

Well, my tongue was in love

But my heart was left aboveI′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
