This One's Gonna Bruise - Beth Orton

Do you even know what goes on in a heart anymore?

Constellations turned into little polaroids in a cardboard box

And I wanted so desperately to prove

You were still breathing

But you wouldn’t move

Okay

Okay

What a thing to choose

This one’s gonna bruise

You’ll learn one day, won’t you?

What you want’s bad for the souls

Lost out in the rain

Afraid of the dark

Still in pain

Still in pain

Did you even notice how the wind

Didn’t change that much?

Fluctuations on these sheets

That you moved to be sure it was us

And I wanted so desperately to say

That you could trust me, but I was lying anyway

Okay

Okay

What a thing to lose

Left out in the rain

Misused

You’ll learn one day, won’t you?

You’ll learn some day, won’t you?

What you had

Was good for a while

Then it changed

Got too intense

And that is strange

And I feel bad for you

I feel bad for you

And I don’t know why

I don’t know why

'Cause I’m as dead as you
