Elvis Costello Heart-shaped Bruise Lyrics

Heart-shaped Bruise Lyrics

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
