Exploring the emotional turmoil of miscommunication in relationships, "Black & Blue" delves into the struggle of expressing and understanding feelings between partners. The lyrics highlight a disconnect where one person's body language contradicts their spoken words, leading to confusion and pain. The repeated plea for clarity—"tell me what you want, tell me what you need"—underscores a desperate attempt to bridge this communication gap. As the protagonist feels increasingly hurt and isolated, symbolized by being 'black and blue,' the song captures the heartache of feeling unseen and misunderstood in a relationship 🎶.
Black & Blue
Lyrics
You always got an explanation
Some hesitation
Oh I know (oh I know, oh I know)
There's no need for all this tension
You're not addressing
But I know (I know, I know)
You're talking with your body
But your lips are saying different words (different words)
You speak a different language
Don't you understand how bad it hurts me? (hurts me)
So tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Tell me what you're feeling when you're looking at me
Tell me what to say
Maybe it's too soon
I'm swimming through the grey but I can't find you
Now I'm black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
You say that you just don't believe me
But now you're leaving alone ('lone)
But baby listen, do you hear me
When I speak clearly 'bout what I want? (what I want)
You're talking with your body
But your lips are saying different words (different words)
You speak a different language
Don't you understand how bad it hurts me? (hurts me)
So tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Tell me what you're feeling when you're looking at me
Tell me what to say
Maybe it's too soon
I'm swimming through the grey but I can't find you
Now I'm black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
So tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Tell me what you're feeling when you're looking at me
Tell me what to say
Maybe it's too soon
I'm swimming through the grey but I can't find you
Now I'm black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
Now I'm black and blue
Now I'm black and blue (oh, oh)
Now I'm black and blue
