Black and Blue
Carter Hulsey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no words I could say to make me change
My minds made up, my thoughts stay the same
Baby, I love you
We'll make it through
The hole in my head is from the fire in your tongue
Our fights with the sink, our fights in the sun
But i'll make it work, cause these are our dreams
I'll love you til we're black and we're blue
There's no words I could say to make me change
My minds made up, my thoughts stay the same
Baby, I love you
We'll make it through
I lie awake alone in my bed
Needles can't fix this hole in my chest
And you're in some town a thousand miles away
You're singing your dreams
Now you're singing my name
I'll love you til we're black and we're blue
There's no words I could say to make me change
My minds made up, my thoughts stay the same
Baby, I love you
We'll make it through
I'll love you til we're black and we're blue
There's no words I could say to make me change
My minds made up, my thoughts stay the same
Baby, I love you
We'll make it through

I'll love you til we're black and we're blue
I'll love you through the bruises and the pain
There's no words I could say to make me change
I won't change my mind
My minds made up, my thoughts stay the same
My decision is final
Baby, I love you
I am in love with you
We'll make it through
We'll get through this together
The hole in my head is from the fire in your tongue
The arguments we have hurt me deeply
Our fights with the sink, our fights in the sun
The conflicts we have are everywhere we go
The rinse in my hands, the bills on these strings
These are the things I have to deal with, but I will do it for our dreams
But i'll make it work, cause these are our dreams
I'll do whatever it takes to make our dreams come true
I lie awake alone in my bed
I can't sleep because I miss you
Needles can't fix this hole in my chest
No amount of medication can ease the pain I feel when you're away
And you're in some town a thousand miles away
You're far away from me
You're singing your dreams
You are pursuing your dreams
Now you're singing my name
You've included me in your dreams and aspirations

@Wachubalak
Dear Chiara, I knew in our Sophomore year that you were something special. No one had ever cared for me like you had and when I left you in the Philippines to live with my dad in the states, I thought about us the other 2 years of my High school life while we were apart. Now that we've been talking the last 5 months everyday online, you've made me feel again. I've had and always will love you. The Pacific and the miles between San Francisco and Manila will never stop us. I love you. Love, Daniel
