Elvis Costello - Heart-Shaped Bruise lyrics

Tell me now, or am I only dreaming?

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 go?

There's nothing more to take from me

There's nothing more to give you dear

There's nothing else that I can lose

Except this heart-shaped bruise

It will fade from purple to black

It will fade just as the day was lost 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 you just lash out

Should I give up and let you...

What more is there to take from me?

There's nothing more to give you dear

There's nothing more that I can lose

Except this heart-shaped bruise
