Trying to act like it was not your fault
When it's labelled with your name
You can tear out all the photographs
But you can't erase the stain
If you won't accept defeat
Is a fate that you can't cheat
Till you feel the red carpet
Get pulled from underneath your feet
It's a heart-shaped bruise
Now it's up to you
You can deal with it
Any way you choose
Overheating on the underground
Waiting for the central line
But it doesn't matter where you're bound
Once you get out of your mind
You can make the tender tough
But it's never quite enough
When you wake up to the future
With a thundercloud above
And a heart-shaped bruise
Now it's up to you
You can deal with it
Any way you choose
Say what you like
Do what you will
Stay up all night
Tell them you're ill
Say exactly what you like
But the truth is black and white
If you wanna keep that secret
Well you've got to pay the price
With the heart-shaped bruise
Now it's up to you
You can deal with it
Any way you choose
It's a heart-shaped bruise
Now it's up to you
You can deal with it
Any way you choose
It's a heart-shaped bruise
Now it's up to you
You can deal with it
Any way you choose
Your heart shaped bruise
