Gabrielle Marlena - April (Black and Blue) Lyrics

Remember the week when
I skinned my knee and
You spent an hour applying Neosporin
Turns out I'm allergic
Then it got infected
And just when it was healing
I fell on the same knee again
Then your dog bit my eyebrow
It wasn't bad so it was funny
Until a huge piece of glass
Fell onto my forehead
Thought I might have a concussion
I had to get on an airplane
So I crossed my shaky fingers
And hoped for the best
All the while the world was falling apart
What I thought I had with both arms
Was slipping away
And it's not like he was ever someone I could really count on
But when we lost him I had to keep everyone grounded
I guess it's good to start over
To get pushed to the edge
What comes out of the fire is never what you expect
Feels like I'm drowning
Inside this spreadsheet
Pulling numbers out the blue
Search my recent calls for you
But I choose Lucy instead
I try not to cry in my head
You're settling into all you've ever hoped for
Feels like I'm losing my friend
All the while the world was falling apart
What I thought I had with both arms
Was slipping away
And it's not like he was ever someone I could really count on
But when we lost him I had to keep everyone grounded
I guess it's good to start over
To get pushed to edge
What comes out of the fire is never what you expect
And then just as soon
I was faced with the thought of losing you, too
With my heart black and blue
Don't they know we've always hated hospital rooms
I hope you know
How much I love your new tattoo
I hope it shows
How much love we all have for you
All the while the world was falling apart
What I thought I had with both arms
Was slipping away
And it's not like he was ever someone I could really count on
But when we lost him I had to keep everyone grounded
I guess it's good to start over
To get pushed to edge
What comes out of the fire is never what you expect
With my heart black and blue, I still have love for you, I still have love for you
