Dressed In Black - Sia

I had given up

I didn’t know who to trust

So I designed a shell

Kept me from heaven and hell

And I had hit a low

Was all I let myself know

Yeah I had locked my heart

I was imprisoned by dark

You found me dressed in black

Hiding way up at the back

Life had broken my heart into pieces

You took my hand in yours

You started breaking down my walls

And you covered my heart in kisses

I thought life passed me by

Missed my tears, ignored my cries

Life had broken my heart, my spirit

And then you crossed my path

You quelled my fears, you made me laugh

Then you covered my heart in kisses

I was down for the count

I was down I was out

And I had lost it all

'Cause I was scared, I was torn

And I took to the night

I’d given in to the fight

And I slipped further down

I felt like I had drowned

You found me dressed in black

Hiding way up at the back

Life had broken my heart into pieces

You took my hand in yours

You started breaking down my walls

And you covered my heart in kisses

I thought life passed me by

Missed my tears, ignored my cries

Life had broken my heart, my spirit

And then you crossed my path

You quelled my fears, you made me laugh

Then you covered my heart in kisses

I was hopeless and broken

You opened the door for me

Yeah I was hiding and you let the light in

And now I see

That you do for the wounded

What they couldn’t seem to

You set them free

Like a butterfly kissing a child

With an eye for the minor key

You found me dressed in black

Hiding way up at the back

Life had broken my heart into pieces

You took my hand in yours

You started breaking down my walls

And you covered my heart in kisses

I thought life passed me by

Missed my tears, ignored my cries

Life had broken my heart, my spirit

And then you crossed my path

You quelled my fears, you made me laugh

Then you covered my heart in kisses

Covered my heart in kisses
