Surrounded by light lying low in the shade
Of a past where the shadows of fear are displayed
Unaware she's involved in the game being played
Her bruised heart is the colour of love

The last tear she felt sink at the end of his call
Pushed the rapids toward a sheer drop waterfall
Before drowning she learned how to master the crawl
Her bruised heart is the colour of love

Cut to ribbons she tied in a butterfly bow
Sorrow's bouquet a fractured emotional blow
Fills with pride as she watches her little ones grow
Her bruised heart is the colour of love

Every now and again shed escape the mundane
Drink and drugs tender hugs *** and unwanted pain
Shackles crash to the ground dancing free in the rain
Her bruised heart is the colour of love

She is glowing again getting ready to shine
Put herself a bit closer to front of the line
Ditched the shame she took on with her no entry sign
Her bruised heart is the colour of love
