This One's Gonna Bruise Lyrics
Do you even know what's going on in a heart anymore ?
Constellations turned into little polaroids in a cardboard box
And I wanted so desperately to prove...
You were still breathing but wouldn't move
Okay, okay what a thing to choose this one's gonna bruise
You'll learn one day won't you ?
What you want is bad for the souls in the rain
Afraid of the dark still in pain still in pain
Did you ever notice how the wind didn't change that much ?
Fluctuations only sheets that you moved to be sure it was us
And I wanted so desperately to say...
That you could trust me but I was lying anyway
okay, okay what a thing to lose
Left out in the rain, misused
You'll learn one day won't you ?
You'll learn some day won't you ?
What you had was good for a while then it changed
Got too intense made it strange...
And I feel bad for you I feel bad for you
But I don't know why I don't know why
Cos I'm as dead as you.
Constellations turned into little polaroids in a cardboard box
And I wanted so desperately to prove...
You were still breathing but wouldn't move
Okay, okay what a thing to choose this one's gonna bruise
You'll learn one day won't you ?
What you want is bad for the souls in the rain
Afraid of the dark still in pain still in pain
Fluctuations only sheets that you moved to be sure it was us
And I wanted so desperately to say...
That you could trust me but I was lying anyway
okay, okay what a thing to lose
Left out in the rain, misused
You'll learn one day won't you ?
You'll learn some day won't you ?
What you had was good for a while then it changed
Got too intense made it strange...
And I feel bad for you I feel bad for you
But I don't know why I don't know why
Cos I'm as dead as you.

beautiful, haunting song.
A must for every break-up mix ever made.
Songs can say so much when you interprete or relate them to certain things. For me, this song is relationable to someone I dearly love. Though when I deliberate the situation I actually should ask myself "why?". Sometimes I realize the answer, and at those times I hate this answer, because he will not come to assure this answer; seems like self-destruction, uhm ? seems it is. "What you want is bad for the soul in the rain"
One of the sadest songs i've ever heared.I can't remember the countless times i listened to this song and crying so hard!!! I used to listen to this song a lot when my sister left for LA for good.
This turned out to be prophetic for Ryan Adams who wrote it for Beth who broke his heart. The most haunted lyric for me is "fluctuations only sheets that you moved to be sure it was us" as in ID-ing a corpse by moving the sheet back..and then at the end he says "Cos I'm as dead as you". So intense!
