Bruised
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh no
Love just leaves you bruised
If you want to know
Find something to lose
The world won't turn until something breaks
Who will make the first last mistake?
You say good things come to those who wait
Into the spiral
Your world and my world
It's never final
Love just leaves you bruised
I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy
Smoke in your hair
I didn't know
I didn't care
Now I know
Ba ba ba ba baaaaaa
Ba ba ba ba baaaaaa
Ba ba ba ba baaaaaa
Love just leaves you bruised
Oh no
Love just leaves you screwed
You've got to go slow
'Cause love just leaves your bruised
Into the spiral
Your world and my world
It's never final
Love just leaves you bruised
I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy
Smoke in your hair
I didn't know
I didn't care
Now I know
Ba ba ba ba baaaaaa
Ba ba ba ba baaaaaa (Now I know)
Ba ba ba ba baaaaaa
Love just leaves you bruised
And I've got the scars to prove it
I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy
Smoke in your hair
Explain it to me again and again
Like I care
Ba ba ba ba baaaaa
Ba ba ba ba baaaaa
Like I care
Ba ba ba ba baaaaa
Ba ba ba ba baaaaa
The world won't turn until something breaks
Who will make the first last mistake?
Good things come to those who wait
But I can't wait
I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy
Smoke in your hair
I didn't know
I didn't care
Now I know
Ba ba ba ba baaaaaa
Ba ba ba ba baaaaaa (Now I know)
Ba ba ba ba baaaaaa
Ba ba ba ba baaaaaa
Ba ba ba ba baaaaaa
(Extended version..Was that alright? How did it sound?)
(It was fucking great)
