Bruiseology Lyrics
OK, it’s over
That’s it, I’m quitting
Yes, I’ll deny it
Never wanted this anyway

No, it’s not over
I’m never stopping
I can’t deny it
I’ve been wanting this all my life

Or I can go back
Be the girl that I was
Before, it’s easy
Just admit I don’t have the guts

But do I ever
Take things so lightly?
I am a fighter
Won’t surrender all that I’ve gained

I’d say there’s a conflict here
The right thing to do’s not clear
Beat my brain up
Trying to fit the two sides together

Then you hit me with the hard facts
Then everything cracks and that’s a bruiseology
Then you hit me with the hard facts
Then everything cracks and that’s a bruiseology
Then you hit me with the hard facts
Then everything cracks and that’s a bruiseology
Then you hit me with the hard facts
Then everything cracks and that’s a bruiseology

It’s just a simple
Change of direction
Just keep repeating
Wasn’t really me all along

Over my shoulder
A fading figure
Someone who’s different
By a hundred eighty degrees

Pretend this never
Happened, I better
Practice my crawling
Back with a tail ‘tween my legs

Or is there somewhere
In this contradiction
Some place where
These two sides can meet?

I think there’s a conflict here
The right thing to do’s not clear
Beat my brain up
Trying to fit the two sides together

Then you hit me with the hard facts
Then everything cracks and that’s a bruiseology
Then you hit me with the hard facts
Then everything cracks and that’s a bruiseology
Then you hit me with the hard facts
Then everything cracks and that’s a bruiseology
Then you hit me with the hard facts
Then everything cracks and that’s a bruiseology

OK, it’s over
No, it’s not over
I can always go back
But will I ever?
That’s it, I’m quitting
I’m never stopping
Be the girl that I was
Take things so lightly
I can’t deny it
I’ve been wanting this all my life

And then you hit me with the hard facts
And everything cracks and that’s a bruiseology
And then you hit me with the hard facts
And everything cracks and that’s a bruiseology
And then you hit me with the hard facts
And everything cracks and that’s a bruiseology
And then you hit me with the hard facts
And everything cracks and that’s a bruiseology
And then you hit me with the hard facts
And everything cracks and that’s a bruiseology
And then you hit me with the hard facts
And everything cracks and that’s a bruiseology
And then you hit me with the hard facts
And everything cracks and that’s a bruiseology
And then you hit me with the hard facts
And everything cracks and that’s a bruiseology
