lyrics

I know you’re aching from a world of hurt
I’d guess you’re wishing someone would’ve warned you first
Since you’re not one to ask for help when you need it most,
Wish I could heal you, black dog

I know that this life didn’t hand you what you wanted
I figure time doesn’t stop for us to bottle it
And in your mind, I am sure you think you’ve lost it
Wish I could heal you, black dog

When you’re broken down, I want to lift you up
When you want it all, I want to be enough
When you’re lost at sea, I want to reel you in and show you love
Wish I could heal you, black dog

How’d you get to be so frantic, baby?
Why you leaving home so much lately?
Why you running through the streets, just waiting for the tires to screech?
Which outcome is the one that’s gonna save you?

When you’re broken down, I want to lift you up
When you want it all, I want to be enough
When you’re lost at sea, I want to reel you in and show you love
Wish I could heal you, black dog

I know you’re aching from a world of hurt
Wish I could lick your wounds and help you see just what you’re worth
But only you can choose to give a damn about the world
Wish I could heal you, black dog
