Black Dog Lyrics

You follow me everywhere that I go

But you cannot walk in my shadow no more

And I just want to leave, I just want to go

Every time I get on my feet

You pull me back down to the floor

Mental health, mental health

Everybody's talking mental health

But I don't wanna talk

I swear this medication's meant to help

Walking with this black dog like it's been sent from hell

Maybe I need somebody to come and save me from myself

Which god do I blame? Another bottle for the pain

Feeling like I'm one problem away from going insane

We drink cause we have problems

We have problems cause we drink

I got so many problems I should probably see a shrink

But what's it even matter what I think

When this melancholy mongrel

Got me feeling like I'm jinxed

Got me feeling like I'm jinxed

Got me feeling like I'm jinxed

Black Dog Black Dog

Black Dog Black Dog

You follow me everywhere that I go

You cannot walk in my shadow no more

And I just want to leave, I just want to go

Every time I get on my feet

You pull me back down to the floor

Depression's got legs

The way it's running through my family

Granny had it, mummy had it

Left me in a dark hole like a bunny rabbit

I got some funny habits

Sometimes I wish this planet would just swallow me whole

I don't understand it

This ain't the way I planned it

Somebody give this dog a bone

Stop it from tryna follow me home

Got so many worries and I got so many woes

So much trouble in my soul

I wish this black dog would just leave me alone

I wish this black dog would just leave me alone

Black Dog, Black Dog

Black Dog, Black Dog

You follow me everywhere that I go

You cannot walk in my shadow no more

And I just want to leave, I just want to go

Every time I get on my feet

You pull me back down to the floor

Black Dog, Black Dog

Black Dog, Black Dog

Black Dog, Black Dog
