Dressed In Black

I had given up

I didn't know who to trust, oh

So I designed a shell

Kept me from heaven and hell, oh

And I had hit a low

Was all I let myself know, yeah

Yeah I had locked my heart

I was imprisoned by dark (I was imprisoned by dark)

You found me dressed in black

Hiding way up at the back

Life had broken my heart into pieces

You took my hand in yours

You started breaking down my walls

And you covered my heart in kisses

I thought life passed me by

Missed my tears, ignored my cries

Life had broken my heart, my spirit

And then you crossed my path

You quelled my fears, you made me laugh

Then you covered my heart in kisses

I was down for the count

Yes I was down, I was out, oh ooh

And I had lost it all

Yes I was scared, I was torn, ohh

And I took to the night

I'd given in to the fight, oh ooh

And I slipped further down

I felt like I had drowned (I felt like I had drowned)

You found me dressed in black

Hiding way up at the back

Life had broken my heart into pieces

You took my hand in yours

You started breaking down my walls

And you covered my heart in kisses

I thought life passed me by

Missed my tears, ignored my cries

Life had broken my heart, my spirit

And then you crossed my path

You quelled my fears, you made me laugh

Then you covered my heart in kisses

I was hopeless and broken, you opened the door for me

Yeah I was hiding and you let the light in and now I see

That you do for the wounded, what they couldn't seem to

You set them free

Like a butterfly kissing a child with an eye for the minor key, yeah

You found me dressed in black

Hiding way up at the back

Life had broken my heart into pieces

You took my hand in yours

You started breaking down my walls

And you covered my heart in kisses

I thought life passed me by

Missed my tears, ignored my cries

Life had broken my heart, my spirit

And then you crossed my path

You quelled my fears, you made me laugh

Then you covered my heart in kisses

Covered my heart in kisses
