Faith, Paloma - Black & Blue Lyrics






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
I know people who use chat rooms as confessionals
I know down and outs who once were,
Once they were professionals

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
If you listen
I know people who believe in gods and demons
I know ones who think there's nothing there at all

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.

    am I the only person who wants the sheet from this version? ;-;

    L.... P....

    You can get sheet music for a piano arrangement of this song from Sheet Music Direct. https://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/en-US/se/ID_No/114302/Product.aspx
     
    I don't know if it's exactly the arrangement in this video. Dom tends to embellish his piano playing.

  11. B.... C....

    Such passion, that's what separates the exceptional singers from the good ones👍

  12. A.... I....

    I found her not so long ago. Just in time..
    She saved my soul...
    mon cher.. tu m'as sauvé. ma vie a été assombrie par la tristesse, mais votre voix est mu soleil. Je t'aime Paloma. merci de partager votre talent. oui vous êtes mes âmes de survie à coup sûr..
    I found you when I found my brother dead from suicide. I died with him in my heart, My mind was numb. I cried myself to sleep and woke to you singing in my ear. It was the song only love can hurt like this. You knew. I didn't hear anything else. I didn't hear my pain screaming in my ears. All I heard was you and I knew that I wasn't alone in my pain .. Others felt different kinds of pain. And I made a vow to help others be ok and show them tgey aren't alone. That is how You saved me my dear. And now I know That God gave you the voice to save others for you saved me. And I know you don't know me and I don't know you other than through your beautiful music. But I love you still. And I thank you a million times for saving me. You don't even know what you do. So beautiful. Such Devine talent is Paloma!!

  42. A.... C....

    Fantastic rendition.

  43. R.... H....

    Amasing voice Paloma has and her background singers too

  44. v.... j....

    alguien sabe el nombre de la chica que la acompaña en este vídeo.

    v.... j....

    NAOMI MILLER

  45. H.... ....

    this song is so beautiful and honest

    H.... ....

    She's a leftie

  46. L.... ....

    I thought it was my immortal the first 3 seconds haha.

    L.... ....

    I thought I was the only one😂😂

    L.... ....

    Same haha

  47. F.... c....

    a deep song

  48. D.... R....

    RIGHT WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT EYES THE DRESS IS NEITHER COLOURS ITS WAT OUR EYES AND BRAIN SEE AND THINK IT IS!!!

  49. L.... M....

    I know Never Tear Us Apart is a cover, but are the rest of her songs ones she wrote herself?

    L.... M....

    +Lynn Maycroft On her second album (Fall To Grace), "Let Me Down Easy" is also a cover. On her third album (A Perfect Contradiction), "The Bigger You Love" is a cover, while "Can't Rely On You" was written by Pharell Williams, "Only Love Can Hurt Like This" and "Leave While I'm Not Looking" were written by Dianne Warren, and "Changing" was written by Sigma. Paloma wrote the rest of her songs herself. She always works with a collaborator on the music, while she writes the lyrics.

    L.... M....

    +Mark Sieving Thank you so much, Mark. I look forward to exploring more of her personal song. Paloma fascinates me with her passion.

    L.... M....

    +Lynn Maycroft I'm anxiously waiting for Paloma's next album, which should be out sometime this year. She's been working on it for at least a year now. She said the working title is "There's More To Life Than Love" and that the songs are all about social issues rather than relationships.

  50. R.... N....

    😄😄😄😄😄

  51. R.... N....

    AMAIZING

  52. a.... ....

    Seriously... The first song of hers I heard was Picking Up The Pieces and I thought 'okay' (I was about 12). Now that I'm older I can finally appreciate who Paloma is - an amazing artist that sings to us, about us and everything. Her lyrics and voice are so powerful. And this song in particular, she sings about one of the biggest problems all of us have and she's helped me understand it through the song. We need more real artists like her in the world. I don't care what you say - she's beautiful.

  53. s.... c....

    perfect ♥

  54. J.... M....

    The backing singer looks like misha B

    J.... M....

    +James Murphy Or Ophra lol especially, the first time she is shown

  55. R.... b....

    love you paloma

  56. m.... a....

  61. m.... g....

    excellent lyrics

  62. N.... L....

    We're just the same
    We all get desperate sometimes
    Feeling black and blue... :')

  63. M.... A....

    bella te estoy descubriendo, has movilizado mi alma, te elijo

  64. E.... B....

    I love the message of this song. How she sings it too. We should not to critize other people so much, and just understand that we all try live life according to what each of us believes is right and everyone has different cirscumstances and needs. We all have our flaws, we all get desperate, we all come to feel black and blue.

  65. M.... A....

    She thinks the dress is black and blue...

  66. R.... ....

    Yes yes white and gold first one to say that

  67. c.... a....

    haha found a song for that black and blue dress XDDDDDDD

  68. J.... B....

  72. M.... D....

    The voice that echos throughout the ages is now heard. (u_u)

  73. S.... ....

    She's just so unique and her voice is just different to everyone elses. Her voice is incredible and the lyrics of the song just burn into your heart like magic. Paloma Faith has such a wondrous voice!

  74. H.... S....

    A day without Paloma Faith is a sad day. She is so talented. I found her songs and videos just a few days ago, and I am totally hooked. I cant start the day without listening to "Upside Down". She brightens up our lives.
