Blue Bruises

Another lifetime ago two people madeOne solemn vow to love honor and obeyNow we got nothing but the shameAnd lame excusesHold me down but you won't hold me backSomehow this bruise will be the lastThis bruise will beThe lastThis bruise will beThe lastIt's hard to talkWith your tongue between your teethIt's hard to walkWith only the eggshells underneathThe stabbing of winter white will reapFresh abusesHold me down but you won't hold me backSomehow this bruise will be the lastThis bruise will beThe lastThis bruise will beThe lastHold me down but you won't hold me back...Hold me down but you won't hold me backSomehow this bruise will be the lastI'm gone, I'm never coming backMark my words -These black eyesWhen they've healedWill have seenThe end
