The Bruiser

I wrote you a poem today on the bathroom wall
I thought I'd show my face and say
What's done is done
If you see me, look away
Pretend your soul is pure
I took care of everything
Crouched down on the kitchen floor
You can't go back to where you've been
You'll never see this place again
You live your life as someone else
Someone that you call yourself
Some call me the Bruiser
I'm your biggest fan
Call me the Bruiser
I'll kiss you with the back of my good hand
How can you feel anything
When your bones are cold?
You get can't trade in thesed bleached regrets
For what you thought I sold
You know it's, you know it's no lie
You know it's no lie
You know it's, you know it's no lie
You know it's no lie
You can't go back to where you've been
You'll never see this place again
You live your life as someone else
Someone that you call yourself
Some call me the Bruiser
I'm your biggest fan
Call me the Bruiser
I'll kiss you with the back of my good hand
The Bruiser
I'm your biggest fan
Call me the Bruiser
I'll kiss you with the back of my good hand
