Black Hole

the story behind the song

I wrote “Black Hole” as a way of coping with the end of my first serious relationship. You see, during our two years together, I didn’t realize he had been fooling around behind my back the entire time. When the truth all came out, it really took its toll on me and my emotions. It wasn’t so much the cheating - it was the heaviness of the lies he told that sucked all the good parts of the relationship into the black hole he created. I didn’t know which parts were true and which were not, and it left me second guessing the entire relationship for years. He was my best friend and it was very hard when we parted ways. I wrote these lyrics the night he moved out, but I guess I just wasn’t ready to share this part of my story until now…

lyrics

by Arthur Kody

You are a black hole, baby, and you’re feeding only on me. You’re an ocean of lies and of trouble and you've clouded me over with sea. The thing was, I thought that we were perfect. The thing was, I thought we were fine. You took my heart and you burned it. Now my love is blistered and fried. I thought...I thought you were mine. You are - you’re a black hole. You are a black hole.

You are a black hole, baby, and you’re sucking the life from my lungs. You’re telling me things that you shouldn’t, and you’re evil for using my tongue. The thing was, I thought that we were perfect. The thing was, I thought we were fine. You took my heart and you burned it. Now my love is blistered and fried. I thought...I thought you were mine. You are - you’re a black hole. You are a black hole.

You’re stuck inside my head. You’re in someone else’s bed. All the lines you must’ve said, they’re coming out tonight. And I’m broken by the fear of never having you near. Every tear is a jeer from your hateful eyes. Is any of it true? ‘Cause I can’t enjoy the view. And when I see your shadow fade, I can feel your whisper say, “but, babe, I'm a part of you...".
