Black Book by Eden James Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I found you alone
And the place smelled of booze
You looked like a right picture
Me a wretched fool
You walked like a social worker
In need of a break
They grilled you like a broken preacher
Oh, who ran right out of faith

[Chorus]
Gonna put you in their black book
Gonna get you on your way down
They're gonna get you on your back foot
Gonna get you when you're down, down, down

[Post-Chorus]
Get you when you're down
You when you're down
Get you when you're down
[Verse 2]
You lost your habitation
And you needed a friend
A messed up and a strong-willеd child
No direction, no plans
We talked about novеls
And the cocktails were free
But you were in some, some kind of trouble
And trouble found me

[Chorus]
Gonna put you in their black book
Gonna get you on your way down
They're gonna get you on your back foot
Gonna get you when you're down, down, down

[Bridge]
Now that you're under their microscope, you can't run and hide
They see all of the wrong paths you took
There in the whites of your eyes

[Verse 3]
I would carry you, babe
Carry you through the hurt
We can't keep pretending
Or thrashing around in this dirt
Beautiful are the children that we'll never have
They're better off in afterlife, considering what we've shared
[Chorus]
Gonna put you in their black book
Gonna get you on your way down
Gonna get you on your back foot
Gonna get you when you're down, down, down
Gonna put you in their black book
Gonna get you on your way, way down
Gonna get you on your last hook
Gonna get you when you're down, down, down

[Post-Chorus]
Get you when you're down
You when you're down
Get you when you're down
