Lyrics

All these words mean nothing
they're just aches and pains to you
so I pour out my soul
see what you can do

and I call these my triggers
cause they shoot me back to you
you're my sweet sucker punch
black and blue
black and blue

and I want you to hear me
I want you to hear me
I want you to hear me

These cuts are still open
they still smart with the salt from your skin
and you can't comprehend
what your touch does
to my heart within

and it cost me my conscience
and it cost me the light
sat under the stars
on a cold and lonely night

and I want you to hear me
I want you to hear me
I want you to hear me

and I want you to hear me
I want you to hear me
I want you to hear me
