Lyrics
V1
Are you gonna bruise my soul
Do you wanna take control
These tattered thoughts, they’re trapped inside
Our loves too great to deny
Chorus
Are you gonna bruise my soul
Break me down, is that your goal
These shattered pieces I cannot mend
Broken and bruised, separated until the end
V2
Why you wanna bruise my soul
Take my parts, but not the whole
You poke and prod and linger on
Never notice when I’m gone
Chorus
Are you gonna bruise my soul
Break me down, is that your goal
These shattered pieces I cannot mend
Broken and bruised, separated until the end
Bridge
You hurt me with your words
You hurt me with those eyes
Who knows you best, although
You tear me down to size
V3
Terrible the way you act
Destruction’s your favorite tool
You don’t want to follow any rules
I get tired of playing your fool
Chorus
Are you gonna bruise my soul
Break me down, is that your goal
These shattered pieces I cannot mend
Broken and bruised, separated until the end
