Píseň: Heart Shaped Bruise

Interpret:
Elvis Costello
Album:
The Delivery Man
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?


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 is 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 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
Except this heart-shaped bruise


It will fade from purple to violet
It will fade
It will fade
It will fade
It will fade
