Текст песни Heart Shaped Bruise (feat. Emmylou Harris) [Live At Hi-Tone Café, Memphis, TN. , September 17, 2004] - Elvis Costello

Tell me now or are you only teasing?
I felt the cold hard fist 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, am I only dreaming?
You said that you'd be mine for life, 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 in 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, it will fade
It will fade, it will fade
Except this heart-shaped bruise
