Black Coffee - Mal Blum

Black coffee early in the morning

Wake up tangled in your arms

I do not mean to cause alarm

But I could never give you more

Than this 'cause this is all I got

Another fucked up caveat

I got so high that I forgot

That I’m no better than I seem

Some words I’ll never try to say

How I loved you more and more each day

The way you sway your hips as you put

Your favorite records on but me

I even hate the way I breathe

I hate the grass I hate the trees

The way my hair blows in the breeze

Whatever isn’t cruel to me

Double my meds and stay in bed

I can’t feel anything again

My face, my arms, my common sense

I never should’ve let you in but

Now is now and then is then

Who could it really hurt again

Who could it hurt

Black coffee early in the morning

Wake up tangled up alone

I do not mean to cause alarm

In fact most days it’s preferable

'Cause this is all that I have got

I’m trying not to fuck it up

I’m trying not to get stuck
