[ compulsive bruise ]

Iv loved you since i cud remember

whenever i see you

my aching heart beats faster

and as u look at me

but it never really mattered

cux everyday i loved you more

but u never really gave a damn

u never even bothered

why cant you see?

that we were meant to be

instead you broke my heart

like shattered peices lying on the floor

and made my soul distant from my withered self of sorrow

here in the darkness

i lay myself down

on my bed of tears

where iv spent the night of fears

my hopes are fading

hopes of us together

i hoped you would love me

and be with me forever

love is blind

probably thats why you

cant see the broken me

no wonder your jaded

while m the one who's hated

u murdered me

killed all the sanity in me

i wish someday u'd realise

that my love for you was true

i cant make you real

you are my compulsive bruise

Someday - Nickleback

..How the hell did we wind up like this

Why weren't we able

To see the signs that we missed

And try to turn the tables

I wish you'd unclench your fists

And unpack your suitcase

Lately there's been too much of this

Dont think its too late

Nothin's wrong just as long as you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow gonna make it allright but not right now

I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that)

Someday, somehow gonna make it allright but not right now

I know you're wondering when

Well i hoped that since we're here anyway

We could end up saying

Things we've always needed to say

So we could end up stringing

Now the story's played out like this

Just like a paperback novel

Lets rewrite an ending that fits

Instead of a hollywood horror

Nothin's wrong just as long as you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow gonna make it allright but not right now

I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that)

Someday, somehow gonna make it allright but not right now

I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that)

How the hell did we wind up like this

Why weren't we able

To see the signs that we missed

And try to turn the tables

Now the story's played out like this J

ust like a paperback novel

Lets rewrite an ending that fits

Instead of a hollywood horror

Nothin's wrong just as long as you know that someday

I will Someday, somehow gonna make it allright but not right now

I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that)

Someday, somehow gonna make it allright but not right now

I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that)

I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that)

I know you're wondering when ...

My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away.But every now and then you come to mind.Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game.But when your name was called, you found a place to hide.When you knew that I was always on your side.Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent.But your demons and your angels reappeared.Leavin' all the traces of the man you thought I'd be.Leavin' me with no place left to go from.Leavin' me so many questions all these years.But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clearEasy to start over with the ones you hold so dear.Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternallyThis isn't how it's really meant to be.No it isn't how it's really meant to be.Well they say that love is in the air, but never is it clear,.How to pull it close and make it stayButterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away.And I'm left to carry on and wonder whyEven through it all, I'm always on your side.But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear.Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear.Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally.This isn't how it's really meant to be.No it isn't how it's really meant to be.Well they say that love is in the air, never is it clear.How to pull it close and make it stayIf butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away.Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why.Was it you that kept me wondering through this life.When you know that I was always on your side
