The Lake Poets
Black and Blue
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
