Elvis Costello & The Imposters - Heart Shaped Bruise lyrics

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; it's not enough Should I give up and let you? What more is there to take from me? There's nothing else to give you, dear There's nothing more that I can lose Except this heart shaped bruise It will fade from purple to violet It will fade Just as the day dissolves into twilight Tell me now or am I only dreaming? You said that you'd be mine for life And now you say you're leaving If I could hold you once more before you go When I approach you just lash out Should I give up and let you? What more is there to take from me? There's nothing else to give you, dear There's nothing more that I can lose Accept this heart shaped bruise It will fade from purple to violet It will fade
