Sometimes I Still Feel the Bruise - The Mountain Goats

This is just to say hello

And to let you know I think of you from time to time

I know I never really knew you, but somehow I miss you

And wish that you’d stayed in my life

Making contact gets harder as the silence grows longer

And isn’t it only me

Who’d like us to see each other?

How I would hate to be a bother

The way we left it was you’d ring

I’m under no illusion

As to what I meant to you

But you made an impression

And sometimes I still feel the bruise

Sometimes I still feel the bruise

Now and then I stumble on

What I’ve misplaced but never lost

An ache I first felt long ago

Though you’ve appeared and disappeared

Throughout these past few years

I’d be surprised if you now showed

Making contact gets harder as the silence grows longer

And why would you think of me

When you were not the one in love

When you were not the dreamer

When you were just the dream?

I’m under no illusion

As to what I meant to you

But you made an impression

And sometimes I still feel the bruise

Sometimes I still feel the bruise
