Bruised :
Rumpled and tired
You still fit the part
Of the one I wanted from the start
We're talking til dawn
About our tangled past
As years of words come out so fast
We both know it's a week
Til I'm going away
But we can't help act like I might stay
It's late when we kiss
Later still when we part
And with my words I'll pierce your heart
Blackmail me
Black and blue
I'll clean up
All for you
2x
So sorry that I
Didn't think it all through
A whim for me, heartache for you
You kiss me goodbye
Say "I wish you could stay"
With a fading smile you turn away
Blackmail me
Black and blue
I'll clean up
All for you
6x
All for you
All for you
