Have you ever heard that love,
Is a metaphor
A metaphor for
The taste of the bottom
The fall to the floor (The fall to the floor)
I fall to the floor
I remember me and you
I remember what you did
I remember being numb
I remember feeling sick
For the taste of the bottom
The fall to the floor
Have you ever heard love is a metaphor
For the way you failed me
And now I'm failing you
(I want you to listen very, very carefully)
Like the serpents tongue,
Like the storm that shakes me
Like the hand that beats me,
Until I'm black and blue
Like the autumn chill,
Like the love that failed me
Let the earth remove me
Black and blue
Black and blue
Have you ever heard that death is a metaphor
A metaphor for.
What if I'm not good enough
What if I'm not strong enough
What if I'm not kind enough
For what happens next
For what happens then
Like the serpents tongue,
Like the storm that shakes me
Like the hand that beats me
Until I'm black and blue
Like the autumn chill,
Like the love that failed me
Let the earth remove me
Black and blue
Black and blue
Like the serpents tongue (Like the serpents tongue)
Like the storm that shakes me (Like the storm that shakes me)
Like the hand that beats me
The hand that beats me black and blue
Like the autumn chill (Like the autumn chill)
Like the looove
Looove
Black and blue.
