Out Getting Ribs

Lyrics

[Verse 1] And hate runs through my blood Well, my tongue was in love But my heart was left above I've got to be leaving now I thought I'd never be shot down But, girl, I'm black and blue So beaten down for you Well, I'm beaten down and blue [Chorus] Don't break away I waste away Don't break away [Verse 2] And lay me out across the grey Hours I should have kept at bay Well, I had no chance to get away I can't escape my own escape Even more when it's sweet to the taste Red stairs lead sense astray I look up and seek for faith Oh, but girl, just lean over and say Well lay me down Pull me out Well, take my crown again He's submerged in doubt [Verse 3] But wait, I make my last request See, this could be the best But, blue, I need to rest See, I been broken down So much has lost it now I just stop and say Girl, don't you worry 'bout a thing Baby blue
