Black and Blue

When every time we cross the line
We feel like we’re an inch from the bottom
When every cut can bleed for days
That we threw band-aids 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, but 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, yeah
Black and blue, yeah
So let me be, just walk away
Yeah I would rather silence the red light
And in between, it’s possible
That I could see from here that’s a bad sign
You cut me off to try to make yourself look right
And you lost me, but hey at least you won the fight
It’s all the same, every night, same old fight, but 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, yeah
Words can cut so much deeper than I’d ever try to make you feel
Well, I just don’t let you see me bruise, so you assume the pain ain’t real
And you just keep it going
It’s all the same, every night, same old fight, but 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, yeah
Black and blue, yeah (x3)
