Bruiseology - The Waitresses

OK, it’s over

That’s it, I’m quitting

Yes, I’ll deny it

Never wanted this anyway

No, it’s not over

I’m never stopping

I can’t deny it

I’ve been wanting this all my life

Or I can go back

Be the girl that I was

Before it’s easy

Just admit I don’t have the guts

But do I ever

Take things so lightly?

I am a fighter

Won’t surrender all that I’ve gained

I’d say there’s a conflict here

The right thing to do’s not clear

Beat my brain up

Trying to fit the two sides together

Then you hit me with the hard facts

Then everything cracks

And that’s a bruiseology

It’s just a simple

Change of direction

Just keep repeating

Wasn’t really me all along

Over my shoulder

A fading figure

Someone who’s different

By a hundred eighty degrees

Pretend this never

Happened, I better

Practice my crawling

Back with a tail 'tween my legs

Or is there somewhere

In this contradiction

Some place where

These two sides can meet?

I’d say there’s a conflict here

The right thing to do’s not clear

Beat my brain up

Trying to fit the two sides together

Then you hit me with the hard facts

Then everything cracks

And that’s a bruiseology

OK, it’s over

No it’s not over

L can always go back

But will I ever?

That’s it, I’m quitting

I’m never stopping

Be the girl that I was

Take things so lightly

I can’t deny it

I’ve been wanting this all my life

(CHORUS repeats til end:)

And then you hit me with the hard facts

Then everything cracks

And that’s a bruiseology
