Confession&denial - Heart Shaped Bruise Lyrics

Every time you lie
Every time you cheat
It's no victory, it's our love's defeat

Every time i cry
And every time you laugh
Lessens my love by half

There's a heart shaped bruise
Where my heart should be
And this heart shaped bruise is absorbing me
There's a heart shaped bruise
Where my heart should be

Every errant thought
Every stolen look
Each and every entry in your little book
Every small abuse, every power play
Turns my love away

There's a heart shaped bruise that
Cannot be redeemed
We can't remove the scars from this shattered dream
There's a heart shaped bruise where my heart should be
And you cut it out

Every time you whisper
Every time you coo
You're pulling me down, just to please you
There's no salvation there's no excuse
Now my hearts no use

There's a heart shaped bruise where my heart should be
Now it's in my hands and it's up to me
There's a heart shaped bruise where my heart should be

There's no way forward
Our history is sour
What looked like love
What looked like love
Is an exercise in power
