Sia - Dressed In Black Lyrics






I had given up
I didn’t know who to trust
So I designed a shell
Kept me from heaven and hell
And I had hit a low
Was all I let myself know
Yeah I had locked my heart
I was imprisoned by dark

You found me dressed in black
Hiding way up at the back
Life had broken my heart into pieces
You took my hand in yours
You started breaking down my walls
And you covered my heart in kisses
I thought life passed me by
Missed my tears, ignored my cries
Life had broken my heart, my spirit
And then you crossed my path
You quelled my fears, you made me laugh
Then you covered my heart in kisses

I was down for the count
I was down I was out
And I had lost it all
'Cause I was scared, I was torn
And I took to the night
I’d given in to the fight
And I slipped further down
I felt like I had drowned

You found me dressed in black
Hiding way up at the back
Life had broken my heart into pieces
You took my hand in yours
You started breaking down my walls
And you covered my heart in kisses
I thought life passed me by
Missed my tears, ignored my cries
Life had broken my heart, my spirit
And then you crossed my path
You quelled my fears, you made me laugh
Then you covered my heart in kisses

I was hopeless and broken
You opened the door for me
Yeah I was hiding and you let the light in
And now I see
That you do for the wounded
What they couldn't seem to
You set them free
Like a butterfly kissing a child with an eye for the minor key

You found me dressed in black
Hiding way up at the back
Life had broken my heart into pieces
You took my hand in yours
You started breaking down my walls
And you covered my heart in kisses
I thought life passed me by
Missed my tears, ignored my cries
Life had broken my heart, my spirit
And then you crossed my path
You quelled my fears, you made me laugh
Then you covered my heart in kisses

Covered my heart in kisses

  1. d.... e....

    J'adore

  2. S.... ....

    From 4:18 to the end of the music is totally different here. You can listen that for hours and you'll become as high as you can. Believe me, this sparks.

  3. j.... f....

    My song!!!

  4. G.... K....

    Yo me quiero poner modo sad y también recordar

  5. L.... P....

    Best vocals adn best instrumentals of all time.

  6. A.... L....

    Honestly this album is and will always be a diamond for music and for my soul. It is so deep and intense and it's real music. I wish Sia had kept on making music like this. Her music nowadays is a little too mainstream and a little boring. Just my opinion

  7. N.... L....

    Queen 😍

  8. G.... K....

    Amo a siaaa ❤️🖤💜💚

  9. S.... M....

    She is thee greatest to ever do it , after @beyonce though.

  10. K.... A....

    Her voice haunted.. amazing

  11. G.... C....

    I relate to this song - besides the fact that no one actually came to me and lifted me back up T-T

    I have very low expectations for my life - ive just been so hurt and abandoned that its all i expect now

    G.... C....

    >:( oh look at that
    Vulnerability- emotions are such a distraction

  12. A.... w....

    I met my partner two days after buying this album and had this song on one night in our early.days together. This is now "our" song and we both have the lyrics tattooed on our bodies. Love this song. Love my partner Michelle Batty more than life itself x

  13. t.... m....

    This song drives me nuts i just love it

  14. R.... F....

    Life had broken my heart into pieces💔, and you covered my heart in kisses💋.

    this woman is amazing. THANK YOU Sia 🖤

  17. s.... w....

    Eddy me trouxe aqui 💘

  18. D.... E....

    I’m trapped inside a cage and the key hides in my locked cranium I crack each time I tried to speak my lips were sealed and I suffer thoughts slumping in the chair I bite my nails I have no one to trust I block outside and barely see the silver sand
    You stand in my eyes
    You gave me hope
    Hand in mine
    Saved me from dying
    Resurrected my feelings
    And hold me so I don’t
    Falter and you cover my heart in kisses
    My broken body battered
    I back away
    Oh oh ohh oh oh ohh oh oh Ohio.

  19. C.... C....

  23. S.... P....

    ♥️😔

  24. N.... H....

    i feel so bad that those beautiful lyrics ended in the 'despacito' progression of chords

    N.... H....

    LOL, this song 2014 n despacito 2017. they need 3 years to understand... haha

    N.... H....

    Wow ok now I need to make a horrible mashup

  25. M.... O....

    This song made my soul to cry.

  26. S.... L....

    somebody has to do a real metal cover of this

  36. Y.... C....

    Magnifique

  37. E.... S....

    From 3:31 to 6:28 non-stop orgasm in my ears

  38. m.... m....

    I can't stop listening to this masterpiece 💕

  39. B.... A....

    Best song ever

  40. N.... D....

    This song beautifully portrays her lyrical prowess. The melisma and riffs from 4:20 onwards themselves can be made into an entire story. The way it hits you is just other worldly. No one can compare to her.

  41. A.... S....

    Very very very Underrated!

  42. R.... G....

    Anyone October 2018

  43. M.... S....

    hino injustiçado ❤💔🐭

  44. G.... R....

    Her voice is so powerful it in itself really shakes my entire body when I listen to her. Her range is so unbelievable, I surprised how artists like six nine are getting more fame by making actual songs that sound like pure trash. I have felt only complete slams of waves of emotions when listening to a goddess like Sia. I love her and hope she continues doing her thing because it is amazingly indefinable.

  45. T.... ....

    I love this artist! She's the best nowadays

  46. D.... S....

    💗🌈🌾

  47. M.... A....

    This song describe Kylo Ren/Ben Solo.

  48. Y.... d....

    Pvta mierda

  49. A.... Y....

    Sia's songs are always underrated

  50. g.... ....

    nice description

  51. U.... L....

    I love this song soooo mjch

  52. N.... G....

    4:42-5:00 U welcome

  53. �.... �....

    I don't understand why Sia makes so many albums, she should just put all of her songs in one album called "Amazing and Inspiring Songs"

  54. C.... G....

    Alguém do Brasil?

  56. G.... S....

    Gracias Luis S. Por dedicarme esta canciòn ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

  57. U.... S....

    Les fr vous ets ou ?

  58. D.... B....

    I still don't get it why this song has only 3m views, it deserves much much moree :/

    D.... B....

    Cause she doesn't sing for popularity. She won't do as much advertising or PR stuff like other pop singers. She can easily put her new songs on youtube so that people can listen to it for free. She isn't afraid of being forgetten or being unpopular, just doing what she likes to do. That's why I think most of people don't know her :)

  59. �.... �....

    thats scary me

  60. T.... I....

    *HER BEST SONG*

  61. Y.... ....

    hard question: is that the best song of the entire world ? (clue: yes)

  62. F.... R....

    The way I feel expressed in one song. The screaming and crying gets me every time :(

  63. H.... G....

    La mejor canción de Sia, sin ninguna duda.

  64. R.... G....

    Adore❤️SIA❤️

    I got Sia's cd collection in a box for Christmas, I never ask for presents so it was surprisingly sweet. I should've hummed and whistled songs from Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift and Eminem too. Oh well, I am still very lucky and grateful for such a cool disc set.

  82. L.... C....

    0:15 ааааааа говно

  83. D.... ....

    My favourite Sia song till date! It is so touching and beautiful

  84. H.... _....

    Sia is an idol to all kids and life

  85. O.... M....

    This song. It speaks to my soul

  86. J.... O....

    This song..encompasses all of the pain i have ever felt in my life. sia doesnt know me but I could thank her for her music because i dont know where id be without it.
    This song makes me break down every single time..everything i hold in, everything i try not to think about..

  87. r.... ....

    Everyone talking how similar her voice is like if its supposed to take away from anyone this ish bang! Enjoy it.

  88. M.... I....

    Who is still listening to this masterpiece now in 2017 and everyday like me this track from 4:20 to finish is paradise !!! ❤ it makes me cry 😢👊

  89. l.... n....

    'i felt like i was drunk'

    that's what i heard

  90. A.... R....

    what about those two Eb6’s in the background at 5:53 tho

  91. A.... A....

    Why not just say Rhianna and Sia sound similar?
