Blackout Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I realize I missed a day
But I'm too wrecked to care anyway
I look around and see this face
What the hell, have I lost my taste?


[Pre-Chorus]
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out

[Verse 2]
My head explodes, my ears ring
I can't remember just where I've been
The last thing that I recall
I got lost in a deep black hole

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out

[Chorus]
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
[Verse 3]
I grab my things and make a run
On my way out, another one
Would like to know before I stop
Did I make it or did I flop?

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't want to find out
Just want to get out, yeah!

[Chorus]
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout (Yeah!)
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout (Yeah!)
Blackout
I really had a blackout

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
I really had a blackout, baby

[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't want to find out
Just want to get out

[Chorus]
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout (Yeah!)
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout
Blackout
I really had a blackout

[Outro]
Blackout
Blackout
Blackout
Oh, yeah....!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
