[Verse 1]
You said "come over"
I came with my heart in my hand
Two plates on the counter
Only one got touched in the end
Your shirt on my chair
Still smells like your hotel soap
I laughed when you kissed me
Now I choke on the joke
[Pre-Chorus]
You held me like home
Then turned it to smoke
I was learning your pulse
You were learning my broke
[Chorus]
You loved me like a bruise
You loved me like a bruise
Now every sweet word cuts
I still feel you choose
You loved me like a bruise
You loved me like a bruise
I call it love out loud
But it keeps on hurting too
[Verse 2]
I kept your spare key
On a hook by the door
Like maybe one night
You'd come back for more
But the porch light blinked once
Then the whole week died
I read your last text
Like a knife in my side
Said "miss you" too late
After you left me on seen
Now my chest is a room
Where your shadow still leans
[Pre-Chorus]
You held me like home
Then turned it to smoke
I was learning your pulse
You were learning my broke
[Chorus]
You loved me like a bruise
You loved me like a bruise
Now every sweet word cuts
I still feel you choose
You loved me like a bruise
You loved me like a bruise
I call it love out loud
But it keeps on hurting too
[Bridge]
If you want my name
Say it when it's true
Don't pull me in close
Just to leave me blue
I keep your ghost around
Like a chain I can't refuse
And I hate that I still
Wear the shape of you
[Final Chorus]
You loved me like a bruise
You loved me like a bruise
Now every sweet word cuts
I still feel you choose
You loved me like a bruise
You loved me like a bruise
I call it love out loud
But it keeps on hurting too
[Outro]
Call it love
Call it loss
Same wound
Different cost
