Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Whatsoever I've feared has come to life
And whatsoever I've fought off became my life
Just when every day seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded and now I'm doing time
Now I'm doing time
[Chorus]
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
[Verse 2]
Whomsoever I've cured, I've sickened now
And whomsoever I've cradled, I've put you down
I'm a search light soul they say
But I can't see it in the night
I'm only faking when I get it right
When I get it right
[Chorus]
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
[Chorus]
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
How would I know
That this could be my fate? Yeah
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
So what you wanted to see good
Has made you blind
And what you wanted to be yours
Has made it mine
[Verse 4]
So don't you lock up something
That you wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking
No, not tying, no, not tying
[Bridge]
I sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change
Yeah, I sure don't mind, sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change
[Chorus]
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days
[Chorus]
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
[Chorus]
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
How would I know
That this could be my fate?
[Outro]
I sure don't mind a change
