"Bruise And Break" lyrics

Keep til' you fall along the surface
And you'll find, it's just a waste of time
To think that I would change
Before anything gets better

I've got to change my ways, with words and aim
To find what hides between the lines
To see the way I bruise and break
You pull me close, then push away

Fictitious lights are all we've got
To leave behind, it's not enough
Try, I'll try, to think it over
As my sanity stands to the side

And I'll try to find a way to get by
My frustrations, held up into the light
To see that I have made the same mistakes as you did

I've got to face the pain, that I have placed
Behind the lies within my mind
To see the way I bruise and break
You pull me close, then push away

Fictitious lights are all we've got
To leave behind, it's not enough
Try, I'll try, to think it over
As your sanity stands to the side

Cold, frustration only made, cold
Pull, you pull and push away, alone
Reacted too quickly, too often the case
After all, I took all I could take

The mirrors, to lead there
Would fall into place
After all, I took all I could take
