Lyrics for Black
Close the curtains, pull the shades down low Turn around and slam the door when you go 'Cause I don't want you to see me No, I don't want you to see me Ain't been in movie and I'm searching for gold I need a cover that will shelter my soul 'Cause I don't want you to see me No, I don't want you to see me When I lie, when I lie Find the pieces that I lack Dressed in black So you can stare in to the redheaded skies Lives there someone who desires to rise 'Cause I don't want you to see me No, I don't want you to see me When I lie, when I lie Find the colors that I lack Dressed in black And now it's so hard to be Trapped down in the night I wanna lie everything back in southern light, oh And I don't want you to see me No, I don't want you to see me When I lie, when I lie Find the pages that I lack I don't want you to see me I don't want you to see me I don't want you to see me I don't want you to see me I don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't I don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't I don't want you to see me, no no I don't want you to see me like this
