Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you know what it feels like
To get calls in the middle of the night?
Saying you're not worth it
You deserve it
Go on, have another drink
[Verse 2]
Do you know what it feels like
To get stuck in the middle of a fight?
Screaming you're not worth it
You deserve it
Go on, have another drink
[PreChorus]
But if I just keep quiet
I'll be the one who's lying too
Why should I keep hiding
Always crying
Tell me, what did I do?
[Chorus]
You took the color from me
Darling, look at it burn
You took the color from me
But I look better in Blak
If I knew what I know now
Maybe I would take it back
But fuck that
I look better in Blak
[Verse 3]
Do you know what it feels like
To be told that you are never right?
If I had lighter skin, maybe I would win
Does it make you wanna think?
[Verse 4]
Do you know what it feels like?
'Cause I know what it feels like
If I had lighter skin, maybe I would win
Does it make you wanna think?
[PreChorus]
But if I just keep quiet
I'll be the one who's lying too
Why should I keep hiding
Always crying
Tell me, what did I do?
[Chorus]
You took the color from me
Darling, look at it burn
(I'll get it back, I'll get it back)
(I'll get it back, I'll get it back)
You took the color from me
But I look better in Blak
If I knew what I know now, maybe I would take it back
But fuck that
I look better in Blak (Better, better, better, better)
[Bridge]
Hey
I look better in Blak
Hey
I look better in Blak
[Chorus]
If I knew what I know now, maybe I would take it back
But fuck that (Fuck that)
I look better in Blak
