Dressed In Black Lyrics - Sia

1 I had given up

2 I didn't know who to trust, oh

3 So I designed a shell

4 Kept me from heaven and hell, oh

5 Yeah, I had hit a low

6 Was all I let myself know, yeah

7 Yeah, I had locked my heart

8 I was imprisoned by God

9 You found me dressed in black

10 Hiding where I put the past

11 Life had broken my heart into pieces

12 You took my hand in yours

13 You started breaking down my walls

14 And you covered my heart in kisses

15 I thought life passed me by

16 Missed my tears, ignore my pride

17 Life had broken my heart, my spirit

18 And then you crossed my path

19 You calmed my fears, you really had

20 And you covered my heart in kisses

21 I was down for the count

22 'Cause I was down, I was out, ooh

23 And I had lost it all

24 'Cause I was scared I was done, oh

25 And I took to the night

26 I'd given into the fight, oh ooh

27 And I slipped further down

28 Yeah, I felt like I drowned

29 You found me dressed in black

30 Hiding where I put the past

31 Life had broken my heart into pieces

32 You took my hand in yours

33 You started breaking down my walls

34 And you covered my heart in kisses

35 I thought life passed me by

36 Missed my tears, ignore my pride

37 Life had broken my heart, my spirit

38 And then you crossed my path

39 You calmed my fears, you really had

40 And you covered my heart in kisses

41 I was hopeless and more

42 Then you opened the door from me

43 Yeah, I was hiding and you let the light in

44 And now I see

45 Had to do for the wounded

46 What they couldn’t seem to, you set them free

47 Like a butterfly kiss

48 And a child with an eye for the minor key, oh yeah

49 You found me dressed in black

50 Hiding where I put the past

51 Life had broken my heart into pieces

52 You took my hand in yours

53 You started breaking down my walls

54 And you covered my heart in kisses

55 I thought life passed me by

56 Missed my tears, ignore my pride

57 Life had broken my heart, my spirit

58 And then you crossed my path

59 You calmed my fears, you really had

60 And you covered my heart in kisses

61 Cover my heart in kisses
