Bruises

I'm hoping that this
Will all turn out for the best.
But my battered heart
Throbs here in my chest.
And my memories of you
Won't be put to rest.

The marks that you
Left here on me
Are not the kind
That anyone can see.
They're not physically here
On my body.

But I think that you know
What you've done to my heart.
I think that you know
That you tore me apart
And you knew that you'd leave me
Right from the start.

So, tell me, was it worth it?
That's all I need to hear.
Did you like destroying
The piece I held so dear?
Did you enjoy seeing me
Trembling in fear?

I trusted you with
The most precious gift I owned
But I never would have done it
If I'd only known
That you were gonna use me
Then leave me here alone.

With me, you had your fun,
With me, you played your game.
For you I was a joke,
For me, nothing is the same.
Towards you I can feel nothing,
It's on me I lay the blame.

These bruises that you gave me
Will never go away,
They'll be here on my heart
Until my dying day.
They are a piece of me now,
A part that's here to stay.
