Lyrics Paloma Faith – Black

I know a man who fills his emptiness
With strangers
I know a girl who drinks herself to sleep at night
You can’t change her

Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don’t roll your eyes, my sweet

I know a single mother who loses her mind
On weekends
She pleads with lady luck on scratch cards with money lent to her
By old friends
I know people who take midnight drives for head space
I know what they’d give for just one loving embrace

Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don’t roll your eyes, my sweet

We’re just the same
We all get desperate sometimes
Feeling black and blue
I know you’ll find it hard to accept it sometimes
We all feel black and we feel blue

Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don’t roll your eyes, my sweet

I know a rich man who has everything you could wish for
But children
I know an old lady who talks a lot but could teach you

Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don’t roll your eyes, my sweet

We’re just the same
We all get desperate sometimes
Feeling black and blue
I know you’ll find it hard to accept it sometimes
We all feel black and we feel blue

Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don’t roll your eyes, my sweet

Wipe it off your sleeve
Your superiority
Don’t roll your eyes, my sweet.
