Black & blue

You were different yesterday
Further away
Further than you'd ever say
What've you seen?
What've you heard?
Was it something that I said?
Have you had another stranger in your bed?

Say it isn't so
And that I'm being overblown
Absence making me ponder
Say it's not too late
And we could be
You and me
What we were once more
What we were once more

I pull your body next to mine
I know I shouldn't
I should pull this plaster off
Knives are out
As I beat myself black and blue

Say it isn't so
And that I'm being overblown
Absence making me ponder
Say it's not too late
And we could be
You and me
What we were once more
What we were once more
