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
|
