Black Lyrics by Ivan B

Forgive Me for My Absence

2024

[Chorus: ?]
You ain't gotta ask if I'm fine, I just like to wear black
You ain't gotta call saying sorry, you could leave it like that
They ask me every day, "Why you down? Why you seem so sad?"
I just like to wear black
I just, I just, I just like to wear black

[Verse 1: Ivan B]
Yeah, ayy
We used to stargaze, now I'm wishin' you the best
Heart on my sleeve, now my heart's got a vest
If I don't feel somethin', sorry, I'm not impressed
I ain't actin' different, I just got a different lens on
Standin' up for me is the only thing I've been on
Landin' on my feet to me is what it means to be strong
People change up for the lamеst reasons, yeah, that's treason
Lonеly seasons, but I keep on, ahh

[Chorus: ?]
You ain't gotta ask if I'm fine, I just like to wear black
You ain't gotta call saying sorry, you could leave it like that
They ask me every day, "Why you down? Why you seem so sad?"
I just like to wear black
I just like to wear black

[Verse 2: Ivan B]
Hardly answer texts, hardly on my phone these days
I'm not scared to be alone, I like it more, some say
I should get out there 'n meet some people, but I'm okay, yeah
Thank you for your input, but the door is that way (It's that way), and
Truth is I don't want no friends, head nods is where it ends
Ain't no ride-or-dies no more, they dyin' ridin' trends
In my Jordans or my Timbs, in my bag, I'm back again
Movin' on is how I know, how I know to make amends, yeah

[Chorus: ? & Ivan B]
You ain't gotta ask if I'm fine, I just like to wear black
You ain't gotta call saying sorry, you could leave it like that
(You could leave it like that, you could leave it like that)
They ask me every day, "Why you down? Why you seem so sad?"
(So sad)
I just like to wear black
I just like to wear black
You ain't gotta ask if I'm fine, I just like to wear black
You ain't gotta call saying sorry, you could leave it like that
(You could leave it like that, you could leave it like that)
They ask me every day, "Why you down? Why you seem so sad?"
I just like to wear black
I just like to wear black

[Verse 3: Ivan B]
Used to wait on tables, but you can't wait for tables to turn
Passionate fire lit a match, and all these tables, they burned
Here's what I learned, don't even gotta be in a church
Do you really believe in somethin' if you don't put in the work?
More to discern, yeah, all that faith that you lack
Just 'cause you got your hands together things won't fall in your lap
Sometimes the best way forward is the one you're taking it back
Look inside of a mirror, you told me, 'bout time that you're back
I know

[Chorus: ? & Ivan B]
You ain't gotta ask if I'm fine, I just like to wear black
You ain't gotta call saying sorry, you could leave it like that
(You could leave it like that, you could leave it like that)
They ask me every day, "Why you down? Why you seem so sad?"
(So sad)
I just like to wear black
I just like to wear black
You ain't gotta ask if I'm fine, I just like to wear black
You ain't gotta call saying sorry, you could leave it like that
(You could leave it like that, you could leave it like that)
They ask me every day, "Why you down? Why you seem so sad?"
I just like to wear black
I just like to wear black
