Bruised

Sometimes I think we need the referee
'Cause I'm up against the ropes every day
This isn't how love's supposed to be
And I don't wanna keep living this way

Don't want to apologise
Especially when I'm in the right
Oh, I don't wanna play the good guy this time
When you gonna realise

That I'm bruised
Black and blue from loving you
Yes, I'm bruised
From taking all the hurt you threw
At me
At me

Sometimes I think I give you the best part of me
And all you do is throw it away
I feel like I'm in love with the enemy
I keep fighting the losing game

Don't wanna apologise
Especially when I'm in the right
Oh, I don't wanna play the good girl this time
When you gonna realise

That I'm bruised
Black and blue from loving you
Yes, I'm bruised
From taking all the hurt you threw
At me
Bruised
Bl-bl-black and blue from loving you
Yes, I'm bruised
From taking all the hurt you threw
At me

I gotta heal
'Cause I need to feel how to love again
Oh, baby, baby
And I gotta mend
'Cause I can't pretend that I'm okay when I'm dying inside
When I take the risk
You burned the bridge
Now there's no way back to where we used to be
To where we used to be (to be)

Oh
Yes, I'm bruised
I'm black and blue from loving you
Yes, I'm bruised, bruised
From taking all the hurt you threw
Yes, I'm bruised
Black and blue from loving you
Yes, I'm bruised
From taking all the hurt you threw
At me

Yeah, you know that I'm bruised
Try come against me, you know you'll lose
Man's gonna win round two
Black and blue from loving you
Dodging everything you threw
Flinging that stuff right back to you
Look at us now, who knew
Black and blue from loving you

Sticks and stones may break my bones
Your words will never break me
Sticks and stones may break my bones
Your words will never break me
Sticks and stones may break my bones
Your words will never break me
