I bruise you You bruise me We both bruise too easily Too easily to let it show I love you and that's all I know All my plans Have fallen through All my plans depend on you Depend on you to help them grow I love you and that's all I know When the singer's gone Let the song go on But the ending always comes at last Endings always come too fast They come too fast But they pass too slow I love you and that's all I know When the singer's gone Let the song go on It's a fine line between the darkness and the dawn They say in the darkest night, there's a light beyond But the ending always comes at last Endings always come too fast They come too fast But they pass too slow I love you and that's all I know That's all I know That's all I know
