Another lifetime ago two people made   One solemn vow to love honor and obey   Now we got nothing but the shame   And lame excuses      Hold me down but you won't hold me back   Somehow this bruise will be the last   This bruise will be   The last   This bruise will be   The last      It's hard to talk   With your tongue between your teeth   It's hard to walk   With only the eggshells underneath   The stabbing of winter white will reap   Fresh abuses      Hold me down but you won't hold me back   Somehow this bruise will be the last   This bruise will be   The last   This bruise will be   The last      Hold me down but you won't hold me back...      Hold me down but you won't hold me back   Somehow this bruise will be the last   I'm gone, I'm never coming back   Mark my words -   These black eyes   When they've healed   Will have seen   The end
