In The Black

Take what you want from me
You took everything, everything worth taking
Pay for the larceny, look what it's done to me
Look what it's done to me
I'm left with the memory
Of what will never be
I block it out but I see the cloud making its way to me
And I'm ready for rain, and I feel it again
A stab in my back, left me in the black
Just like you know you are
Count backwards from ten
Back to the start where I let you in
Already consumed by so much loss
Had to escape it at any cost
Where do I even begin?
I'm left with the memory
Of what will never be
I block it out, but I see the cloud making its way to me
And I'm ready for rain, and I feel it again
A stab in my back, left me in the black
Just like you know you are
I've got a confession
I haven't lost everything
Haven't lost, haven't lost, I haven't lost
I've got a confession I haven't lost everything
This is my confession
I haven’t lost everything
As low as I get
There still a glimpse of hope
That gets me back up again
As much as I feel like there's nothing left
Something much bigger than me gives me breath
Into the unknown, I'll carry on
I'm left with the memory
Of what will never be
I block it out, but I see the cloud making its way to me
And I'm ready for rain, and I feel it again
A stab in my back, left me in the black
I'm ready for rain
I'm ready for rain
And I'm ready for rain, and I feel it again
A stab in my back, left me in the black
