Every time We cross the line I feel like we’re an inch from the bottom Every cut Can bleed for days But we throw Bandaids at the problem You toss it off, tell me to take it like a man But I’ve hid the pain for just as long as I can stand It’s all the same Every night, same old fight With a different blame Wrong or right, we both lose In this game Black and blue, we both bruise The same way We both bruise black and blue Black and Blue Just let me be Walk away I would rather silence than red line No in between Is possible I can see from here that’s a bad sign You cut me off to try to make yourself look right Well you lost me, but hey, at least you won the fight It’s all the same Every night, same old fight With a different blame Wrong or right, we both lose In this game Black and blue, we both bruise The same way We both bruise black and blue Black and Blue Black diamonds, but her heart's the blackest She's like a marksman blastin’ at me just for target practice Love you kill for and build towards But she would rather mix and mingle With a list of singles like it's Billboard I can relate to all of this pop music though Cause after a year Someone Like You suddenly is Somebody That I Used to Know I know an orchestra with a portion of horns in it You got some horns too, neither is a coronet is it? Words can cut so much deeper than I’d ever try to make you feel I just won’t let you see me bruise so you assume the pain ain’t real, and you keep it going It’s all the same Every night, same old fight With a different blame Wrong or right, we both lose In this game Black and blue, we both bruise The same way We both bruise black and blue Black and Blue Black and blue yeah Black and blue yeah
