Heart - Shaped Bruise

Tell me now

Or are you only teasing?

I felt the cold hard facts of life

Five degrees from freezing



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 nothing else to give you, dear

There's nothing 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 dreaming?

You said that you'd be mine for life

Now you say you're leaving



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 nothing else to give you, dear

There's nothing 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
