Bruising

Maybe I'm just living on dumb luck
Maybe that's all we can count on
Lord knows I'm no Italian master
So why must I bend myself backwards?

Must drive you all the wall in
I ain't your martyr again

I have tried everything
I have tried everything
But I can't help the bruising
'Cause I'm so thin skinned

I've got some nerve playing the victim
I must be amongst fortune's favourites

I can't be a mouth for the demon of doubt
With all of last night's glitter showing

I have tried everything
I have tried everything
But I can't help the bruising
'Cause I'm so thin skinned
I have tried everything
I have tried everything
But I can't stop the bruises

I can't be a mouth for the demon of doubt
With all of last night's glitter showing

I have tried everything
I have tried everything
But I can't help the bruising
'Cause I'm so thin skinned
I have tried everything
I have tried everything
But I can't stop the bruises
