[Verse 1]
Black and blue, I'm on the edge
Forgave you with your hands around my neck
You steal my breath, you throw me away
I'm only left with bruises
Always played too close to fire
I thought I saw the devil in your eyes
You pull me down, I can't act surprised
I know you're kind, the truth is
[Pre-Chorus]
No chains, no ropes
Don't need 'em, I'm not going home
Can't be alone
You hurt me and I pull you close
[Chorus 1]
I can't tell you why
When you kill me with a smile
I don't wanna lose it
Wish I could unchoose it
All I have are bruises
Let you see inside my mind
Got no tears behind my eyes
I don't wanna skew it
Wish I could undo it
All I have are bruises
[Verse 2]
Black and blue, I still regret
Forgive you even when I know what's next
But I'm not scared, I'm outta my head
Lay down to rest with bruises
Cross my heart and hope to die
I knew I saw the devil in your eyes
If love is hell, I guess I tell lies
At least you're mine, the truth is
[Pre-Chorus]
No chains, no ropes
Don't need 'em, I'm not going home
Can't be alone
You hurt me and I pull you close
[Chorus 1]
I can't tell you why
When you kill me with a smile
I don't wanna lose it
Wish I could unchoose it
All I have are bruises
Let you see inside my mind
Got no tears behind my eyes
I don't wanna skew it
Wish I could undo it
All I have are bruises
[Chorus 2]
I can't tell you why I'd let you kill me with a smile
I don't wanna lose it
Wish I could unchoose it
All I have are bruises
Wish you saw inside my mind
I got no tears behind my eyes
I don't wanna skew it
Wish I could undo it
All I have are bruises
