Out Of Love

Mama, I'm running on fumes
I'm running back to him
And away from you
Lover, will I be enough again
If I let you bruise my skin
If I'm black and blue
Will I be enough to be loved enough to be again
Am I enough to be enough
To take the scuffs, to breathe again
My skin's too rough to be loved by any soft or gentle hand
Am I not tough
You made me tough
Your calloused hands, they bruise my skin
You're holding me
I'm holding back
From loving something I can't have
Suffocate and gentle rape
And i'm too soft to get you back
Killing me with a quick hard slap
I'm running away
You're holding me back
It's out of love, I'm not enough
To deserve love that won't attack
Mama, I'm running on fumes
I'm running back to him
And away from you
Lover, will I be enough again
If I let you bruise my skin
If I'm black and blue
I'm okay with you not being nice
I'm not okay with not being enough
I'm okay with you not holding back
If you tell me that's what it means to love
Your trigger finger traces love notes cross my cheek
You say you love me, say you miss me, make me bleed
If this is love, if love's enough
Then I can't breathe
But who needs air when you're right here and loving me
Mama, I'm running on fumes
I'm running back to him
And away from you
Lover, will I be enough again
If I let you bruise my skin
If I'm black and blue
Mama, I'm running on fumes
I'm running back to him
And away from you
Lover, will I be enough again
If I let you bruise my skin
If I'm black and blue
