ELVIS COSTELLO - Heart Shaped Bruise lyrics

rate me

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

Or am I only dreaming?

You said that you'd be mine for life

And 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

Accept this Heart Shaped Bruise

It will fade from purple to violet

It will fade?

She's pulling out the pin
