Heart Shaped Bruise

Tell me now

Or are you only teasin'?

I've felt the cold hard facts of life

Five degrees from freezin'

Does it amuse you to always hurt me so?

I try my best, it's not enough

Should I give up and let you?

What more is there to take from me?

There's nothin' else to give you, dear

There's nothin' more that I can lose

Except this heart shaped bruise

It will fade from purple to violet

It will fade just as the day dissolves into twilight

Tell me now

Am I only dreamin'?

You said that you'd be mine for life

Now, you say you're leavin'

If I could hold you once more before you go

When I approach, you just lash out

Should I give up and let you?

What more is there to take from me?

There's nothin' else to give you, dear

There's nothin' more that I can lose

Except this heart shaped bruise

It will fade from purple to violet

It will fade, it will fade

It will fade, it will fade, it will fade
