My Lyrics

Bruises

Verse: These purplish circles on my arms

They remind me of the dark tint of your eyes

And when I press them they send little shocks of pain

Slithering down my sides

Oh honey, don’t look so sad

Get that dejected look off of your pretty face

Because right now I’m going to believe the lie

That this is going to be the first and last time

Hook: I’m not going to let this boil up

Get in the way of us, put an end to us!

Chorus: I don’t wanna live without you, so I won’t!

So even though you hurt me, I won’t go!

Every time I think I’ll leave, I don’t!

Tell me it won’t happen again, and you know!

You’ve got me till the bruises fade. . .

Verse: If the physical hurts as much as the emotional

I guess it has the very same effect 

Maybe with the latter it doesn’t show on my face

But I know what I’m gonna get

When I get home, but, oh honey, don’t

Look so sad, erase that look you have

You know that I’ll always love you

That’s why these bruises don’t hurt so bad

Hook:Why should I walk away

You’ve loved me more than any other can say

Chorus: I don’t wanna live without you, so I won’t!

So even though you hurt me, I won’t go!

Every time I think I’ll leave, I don’t!

Tell me it won’t happen again, and you know!

You’ve got me till the bruises fade. . .

Bridge: I can see that the truth is hiding somewhere

Behind those watery irises

But I can’t allow myself to decipher 

Those messages, images, erase them with your kiss

Chorus: I don’t wanna live without you, so I won’t!

So even though you hurt me, I won’t go!

Every time I think I’ll leave, I don’t!

Tell me it won’t happen again, and you know!

You’ve got me till the bruises fade

And when they’re gone add another day

And keep adding them until you lose count

I’ll be here when the calculations leave your mouth

You’ve got me. . .

You’ve got me. . .
