  • Hopeless, I should know this
    Thought that I was making progress
    Broken record player, layer after layer
    Coming undone
    From the moment that we said goodbye
    Knew I couldn't lose you if I tried
    Looks so sharp, don't you know
    You could hurt someone

    Now I hear your voice when you're not around
    Cuts me deep but it's my favorite sound
    Dagger to the heart, over from the start with you
    Fade to black and blue
    Fade to black and blue

    I should probably get some sleep
    These are secrets that I shouldn't keep
    Habit I should break, keeping me awake
    Indefinitely
    Maybe if I wasn't such a mess
    I might wonder how you could possess
    Me without a touch, you leave me in
    Such misery…

    Now I hear your voice when you're not around
    Cuts me deep but it's my favorite sound
    Dagger to the heart, over from the start with you
    All these chemicals in my bloodstream
    Darkest night from the sweetest dream
    All that I can take can't erase the shape of you
    Fade to black and blue
    Fade to black and blue

    Oh your eyes, blue as sky
    My red blood and my little white lies
    Oh my heart black as night
    Can't let go of you, it isn't right
    Try as I may, try as I might
    It's true, I go back to you…
    Fade to black and blue

    I still hear your voice when you're not around
    Cuts me deep but it's my favorite sound
    Dagger to the heart, over from the start with you
    All these chemicals in my bloodstream
    Darkest night from the sweetest dream
    All that I can take can't erase the shape of you
    I still hear your voice when you're not around
    Cuts me deep but it's my favorite sound
    Dagger to the heart, over from the start with you
    All these chemicals in my bloodstream
    Darkest night from the sweetest dream
    All that I can take can't erase the shape of you
    Fade to black and blue
