[Verse 1]
I'm a sponge soaking up
Soaking up all of you
Soaking up black and blue
Oh, I'm a sponge soaking up
Soaking the pain away
Cleaning up every stain

[Pre-Chorus]
Feel you getting light, same anxiety
Just give it all to me, oh, please

[Chorus]
I need someone to ring me out, ring me out, ring me out
Feels like I am drowning and the tears are not mine
I need someone to ring me out, ring me out, ring me out
Feels like I'm screaming but my voice is sunk in silence

[Verse 2]
I'm a sponge soaking up
Soaking up every truth
Saving some space for you
Oh, I'm a sponge soaking up
Soaking up all I see
There is no room for me
[Pre-Chorus]
Feel you getting light, same anxiety
Just give it all to me, oh, please

[Chorus]
I need someone to ring me out, ring me out, ring me out
Feels like I am drowning and the tears are not mine
I need someone to ring me out, ring me out, ring me out
Feels like I'm screaming but my voice is sunk in silence

[Bridge]
I wish I could
I wish I could let it out
But I just take it in
I just take it in
I wish I could
I wish I could let it out
But all I do is take it in
I just take it in

[Outro]
I'm a sponge soaking up
Soaking up all of you
Leaving me black and blue
