Blood, Sweat and Tears Lyrics

These empty pleasures just distract me

Cause if not for these, the nights are lonely

Need to disguise the pain as dopamine

So I go and hide behind the smoke machines

But it's cool, I'm fine, don't check up on me

I can deal by myself, so let's go and party

Everything I am

Is just pure distress

Look behind the flashing lights

And I'm a fucking mess

Think of all the times

We had down the years

You left me on the dancefloor

With my blood, sweat and tears

Deep breaths in the smokers as I light a cigarette

Breath smelling like beer, nicotine and deep regret

Need to have a breather from the bass stuck in my ears

But the quiet fills my head up with my sober thoughts and fears

But it's cool, I'm fine, don't check up on me

I can deal by myself, so let's go and party

Everything I am

Is just pure distress

Look behind the flashing lights

And I'm a fucking mess

Think of all the times

We had down the years

You left me on the dancefloor

With my blood, sweat and tears
