about

I remember dancing around in your mother's attic with ramshackle underwear and half a tuxedo, calling into question the nature of our relationship.
"If we were in love we couldn't do things like this."
And I suppose that's true. I generally don't allow people I love to hit me in the face repeatedly.
But I've always said context is important.

lyrics

Lord knows I didn't get these get these bruises from sitting on church pews
I've been asking asking for them since the day that I met you
And I've been so afraid to let my guard down and let you fuck me around

But I begged for these these bruises just so I could heal
And I'm filled with contempt for the the things I don't feel
I'm blissfully bandaged I'm broken and bruised
With the sneaking suspicion that I'm being used

Lord knows I didn't get these bruised knees from praying
And if you read between the fine lines of what I'm saying you'll see I cover up my scars with the new ones that I like

Lord knows I didn't get these rings on my neck from choking on my words
And if I'm slurring them now it's what I deserve for being so goddamn helpless

I fall down too much
It's better when I'm falling for you
I fall down too much
It's better when I'm falling for you
I hurt myself too much
It's better when I'm falling for you
I hurt myself too much
It's better when I'm hurting for you
