Lyrics Bruiseology - The Waitresses

Bruiseology

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
