Black And Blue lyrics

Lights are shining all around this world
You want them all but what you want is this girl
You can stick those rules, they`re just second best
They give you so much but you land up with less
They give you money when what you need is love
It makes you smile pretending it`s all enough

See the world now it`s bruised black and blue
You want it all but all I want is you
So give up the chance to be true

Dream for tomorrow, live for today
Someone, somewhere may just throw it away
It`s been to the bottom, turned to the top
Lift up your eyes as if you were nearer to god
So get your bicycle and go earn your keep, there`ll be
Nine million cycles here by this time next week

See the world now it`s bruised black and blue
You want it all but all I want is you
So give up the chance to be true
We all wind up like we knew we`d do
Bruised black and blue

So many words are hard but true
We all wind up like we knew we`d do
Bruised black and blue
Bruised black and blue
