[Verse 1]

I'm a sponge soaking up

Soaking up all of you

Soaking up black and blue

Oh, I'm a sponge soaking up

Soaking the pain away

Cleaning up every stain

[Pre-Chorus]

Feel you getting light, same anxiety

Just give it all to me, oh, please

[Chorus]

I need someone to ring me out, ring me out, ring me out

Feels like I am drowning and the tears are not mine

I need someone to ring me out, ring me out, ring me out

Feels like I'm screaming but my voice is sunk in silence

[Verse 2]

I'm a sponge soaking up

Soaking up every truth

Saving some space for you

Oh, I'm a sponge soaking up

Soaking up all I see

There is no room for me

[Pre-Chorus]

Feel you getting light, same anxiety

Just give it all to me, oh, please

[Chorus]

I need someone to ring me out, ring me out, ring me out

Feels like I am drowning and the tears are not mine

I need someone to ring me out, ring me out, ring me out

Feels like I'm screaming but my voice is sunk in silence

[Bridge]

I wish I could

I wish I could let it out

But I just take it in

I just take it in

I wish I could

I wish I could let it out

But all I do is take it in

I just take it in

[Outro]

I'm a sponge soaking up

Soaking up all of you

Leaving me black and blue
