I could face the walk down union street I could go out with my friends to parties Maybe even look at other guys Make it past the door and not feel terrified I could curse your name Instead of shouting it out in my sleep Could stitch myself up every day But really all I do is bleed But if I hate you Maybe I could erase you Maybe I wouldn't chase you And I could face the truth But if I blame you I won't live with this same bruise I won't give all my days to you And I could face the truth but then I don't know how I'd ever love again I could start a war with all my friends Tell them all the ways that you messed with my head Tell them all the secrets you kept I could count up all the reasons that I left I could live with this if You were a little harder to miss I could stop seeing your eyes Every time that I close mine And I could talk to my mum About everything you did wrong Instead, she tries not to hear me cry Myself to sleep each night But if I hate you Maybe I could erase you Maybe I wouldn't chase you And I could face the truth But if I blame you I won't live with this same bruise I won't give all my days to you And I could face the truth but then I don't know how I'd ever love again If any anger burned in me I'd douse myself in gasoline I'd be aflame, I'd be a woman scorned But at least the fire would keep me warm If you hadn't shined so damn bright I wouldn't be blind without your light If there were any way not to feel this pain If I could face the truth, I'd say That you never broke my heart, you just made me break a smile And any tears I shed, you were right there to help them dry If I could hold a grudge like you used to hold my face At least I'd be holding onto something instead of drifting away I'm drifting away But if I hate you Maybe I could erase you Maybe I wouldn't chase you And I could face the truth But if I blame you I won't live with this same bruise I won't give all my days to you And I could face the truth but then I don't know how I'd ever love again (Love again) Wish I could say you never cared But you loved me so much, I wouldn't dare And now I wake to a winter cold I used to wake in your summer glow I could say you messed with my head But I think you put it together again 'Cause I don't think you told a lie The whole time, whole time you were mine Wish I could say you never cared But you loved me so much, I wouldn't dare And now I wake to a winter cold I used to wake in your summer glow I could say you messed with my head But I think you put it together again 'Cause I don't think you told a lie The whole time, whole time you were mine
