HeartShaped Bruise — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

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, its not enough

Should I give up and let you go?



Theres nothing more to take from me

Theres nothing more to give you dear

Theres 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 youd be mine for life

And now you say youre 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?

Theres nothing more to give you dear

Theres nothing more that I can lose

Except this heart-shaped bruise
