Bruised Up
I used to hate lying
until you became my only truth.
I used to hate running
now I can’t get fast enough
away from you.
Broke me then, you tore me apart
as I was bleeding from the arrows
Cupid shot through my heart.
I was alone and defenceless
and now I’m bruised up
from being in love
my heart’s not beating fast enough
for me to run away from you
I need to come to my senses.
I had this naive little idea
that we’d be perfect together.
Now I know who you truly are
and I’ll still love you forever.
But you’ve inflicted fresh scars
on my overused heart.
Broke me then you tore me apart
as I was bleeding from the arrows
Cupid shot through my heart.
I was alone and defenceless
and now I’m bruised up
from being in love
My heart’s not beating fast enough
for me to run away from you
I need to come to my senses.
If I was in your arms
and I started to cry
you put yourself in danger
baby, if I laid down my life
would you finally tell me why
I am not enough to heal you?
Broke me then you tore me apart
as I was bleeding from the arrows
Cupid shot through my heart.
I was alone and defenceless
and now I’m bruised up
from being in love
My heart’s not beating fast enough
for me to run away from you
I need to come to my senses.
