Bruised Lyrics

(we're rolling)
(1, 2, 1 2)
(sorry, 1 2 3 4)

Oh no
your 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 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
ba ba ba ba baaaaaa
ba ba ba ba baaaaaa
ba ba ba ba baaaaaa
ba ba ba ba
Love just leaves you bruised

Oh no
Love just leaves you screwed
you got to go slow
cause love just leaves you bruised

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
When I didn't know
I didn't care
but now I know
ba ba ba ba baaaaaa
ba ba ba ba baaaaaa
now I know
ba ba ba ba baaaaaa
ba ba ba ba
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
ba ba ba ba baaaaa
ba ba ba ba baaaaa
like I care
ba ba ba ba baaaaa
ba ba ba ba baaaaa
Love just leaves you yeah

the world won't turn until something breaks
who will make the first last mistake
you say 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
I didn't know
I didn't care
now I know

Ba ba ba ba baaaaaa (repeat)

(extended version --
that's alright
how did that sound?)

(It was fucking great!)

I think this is about a guy trying to get with a girl (or it could be the other way around). He follows her around, and eventually things start happening ("Into the spiral/ Your world and my world"). He thought he was fine living his life the way he did before she came into his life, but once she came in he realized he was wrong ("When I didn't know/ I didn't care/ But now I know"). Apparently things went wrong, and he was hurt by it ("Love just leaves you bruised/ And I've got the scars to prove it").

I absolutely love this song... his voice sounds so nice, and the piano is great!

i think the lyrics are pretty straightforward. i LOVE the line "i went because you said you'd be there". it just conveys so much more than it says.

I feel like this song is a part of me. I think they might've followed me around and wrote this to make fun of me xD

They are the trifecta of awesomeness. I love the chorus "I went because you said you'd be there/a box of candy smoke in your hair". Good stuff.
