I grew with a bitter heart
Stop you're useless
Disagreed from the very start we did
Leave, I'm bruising

For you and I
For you and I
I can't hate you
But I can hate your life

From time to time
From time to time
I wish for someone
To take your place or mine

(For you and I
For you and I)
I'm bruising
I'm bruising

(I can't hate you)
So pull up the family tree
(But I can hate your life)
I'm bruising
I'm bruising

So pull up the family tree
The roots are soaked in alcohol
The branches weak
The leaves suffer

From time to time
From time to time
I'm bruising
I'm bruising

So cut down the family tree
Forget the ropes, they're decorations
You can see
We've all suffered

I have tried four or five times
And it hasn't worked yet
Maybe this is it
Why can't this be it

You can't possibly think
That we're fine after this
I could try to survive
But the pain halts the process

Maybe this is it
Why can't this be it
How can we possibly
Be fine after this

I can't change you but I tried
