I long to be where I belong
My strength has always been pretending to be strong
But when you give them
The attention
That's best sent in my direction
I wish I could right as many wrongs
As I can redundant songs

You warned me
About adoring
And falling so hard for girls like you
But I could use
One more bruise
I've always looked my best in black & blue

Knuckles are bloody, bruised, and sore
From trying to be the opportunity at your door
And these verses
Are worthless
They're just words to reverse your curses
And I've conducted this same score
One hundred times before

You warned me
About adoring
And falling so hard for girls like you
But I could use
One more bruise
I've always looked my best in black & blue

My heart is way too big
For the ribcage someone locked it in
This song is way too small
For all the clichés that I call my own

You warned me
About adoring
And falling so hard for girls like you
But I could use
One more bruise
I've always looked my best in black & blue
