Black Keys

I play on the black keys

where i dont have to worry much

its already hard enough

to sing a song about this

some people try the white keys

but the thinkin' hurts my head

so i move back here instead

it comes easier

you know why

you're the one whos on the greivin' end

and just wave goodbye

and wonder if you'll ever breathe again

thats why

i play on the black keys

when it already takes my best

to pretend that this big mess

isn't happenin'

i play on the black keys

so i can close my eyes

try to picture you beside me

singin harmonies

and you know why

one day i will try and explain it all

and if you dont mind

id like some time to try and play it all

if i ever thought it would come to this

the needin' and the bleedin'

then i woulda tried to say it better better

if i ever thought i cherished you

and i mean it yeah i mean it

now i still think youre here

you're pullin in you're pullin in

but you wouldn't know why

because you're the one the one whos on the leavin' end

then you wave goodbye

when you saw me cry would you believe me then

thats why...i...i...i...

and i...i...i...

yeah...i...i...i...

i play on the black keys...yeah
