Song Lyrics

Yeah, I know you leave me black and blue
But what the f*ck am I supposed to do?
I don't want to go home alone
To an empty house that ain't a home (Alright)

I'm buried alive in this 52nd Street
Broken down dive
And I sit and I drink in overdrive
It's one hundred degrees but I'm cold inside

Yeah, I know you leave me black and blue
But what the f*ck am I supposed to do?
I don't want to go home alone
To an empty house that ain't a home

I'm buried alive in this 52nd Street
Broken down dive
And I steal and I come alive
It's one hundred degrees but I run and hide

Yeah, I know you leave me black and blue
But what the f*ck am I supposed to do?
I don't want to go home alone
To an empty house that ain't a home

And there you are for me tonight
And now I've lost my will to fight
The feeling is coming over
It ties me up, it pulls me under
It rolls my head into a thunder
It's stops me from stopping
Or even from wondering why

Yeah, I know you leave me black and blue
But what the f*ck am I supposed to do?
I don't want to go home alone
I don't want to go home alone
I don't want to go home alone

Yeah, I know you leave me black and blue
Yeah, I know you leave me black and blue
Yeah, I know you leave me black and blue
Yeah, I know you leave me black and blue
Yeah, I know you leave me black and blue
Yeah, I know you leave me black and blue
