From the recording Bruising From the Fall
Lyrics
Knew it all from the start
Broke another lover’s heart
And it wasn’t enough
You laid it all in front of me
All I need to do and be
My convictions were trumped
Tell me now what does it prove
To pour the salt into the wounds
For you I hurt someone I love
Isn’t that enough?
I’m so tired of it all
I’m still bruising from the fall
I’m so sick of being blamed
Until I didn’t feel sane
And I know I’m gonna grieve
But right now I need to leave
Despite all that we’ve been through
You know I’m gonna miss you
Time’s been everything but kind
Feel beaten down an minimized
Consoled and disarmed
You know anger can sincere
Let’s you briefly see it crystal-clear
Until I’m swept up and charmed
How could the thing that causes pain
Be exactly what I crave
Why does it hurt if this is love
Isn’t that a drug?
I’m so tired of it all
I’m still bruising from the fall
I’m so sick of being blamed
Until I didn’t feel sane
And I know I’m gonna grieve
But right now I need to leave
Despite all that we’ve been through
You know I’m gonna miss you
And my heart and heart fight it out
All the answers, all the doubts
And they see it all differently
And I‘ve screamed to plead my case
But you’re a million miles away
