Bruised - Ben Folds

Bruised Lyrics

Oh no, love just leaves you bruised
If you want to know
You find something to lose
The world won't turn until something breaks
Who will make the first last mistake
You say the good things come
To those who wait
Into the spiral
Your world and my world
It's never final
Love just leaves you bruised
I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy, smoke in your hair
And I didn't know, I didn't care
But now I know
Love just leaves you bruised
Oh no, did love just leave you screwed?
You got to go slow

'Cause love just leaves you bruised
Into the spiral
Your world or my world
It's never final
Love just leaves you bruised
I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy, smoke in your hair
When I didn't know, I didn't care
But now I know, now I know
Love just leaves you bruised
And I've got the scars to prove it
I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy, smoke in your hair
Explain it to me again and again
Like I care, like I care
Love just leaves you
The world won't turn until something breaks
Who will make the first last mistake?
Good things come to those who wait
Well, I can't wait
I went because you said you'd be there
A box of candy, smoke in your hair
And I didn't know, I didn't care
Now I know
