Hate runs through my blood
What matter are words in love
But my heart always left above
I've got you believe you now
I thought I'd never be shut down
But girl I'm black and blue
So beaten down for you
Well, I'm beaten down and blue

Don't break away
Or waste away
Don't break away

Lay me out across the grey
Hours I should have kept at bay
I had no chance to get away
I can't escape my own mistakes
Even more, it's sweet to the taste
Red stairs lead sense astray
I look up and see for faith
But girl just lean over and say

Lay me down
And hear me out
Save my crown
She pushed me down

But wait, I've made my last request
See this could be the best
But girl I need to rest
Well I've been broken down
So much I lost it now
And I just want to say
And I just sought to say

Girl, don't you worry bout a thing
