I am not the enemy ooh
I have learned to sleep through pain too
And when the old scenes change
You'll see its all a game
I beat myself down to the core I I I
Lose my friends, what's it all for?
Isn't it just like life?
Convince me that I'm right
Then take away take away my only escape
My beautiful little vice throw it in my face
But my mother told me you are not your bruises
Everybody uses someone sometimes
Baby we are only human
But I don't let my guard down for no one
Cause I, I've been bruised before
I am just a casualty ooh
Wrong note in your melody ooh
I love you just the same
The deadly games we play
You take away, take away my only escape
My beautiful little vice throw it in my face
But my mother told me you are not your bruises
Everybody uses someone sometimes
And baby we are only human
But I don't let my guard down for no one
Cause I, I've been bruised before
My mother told me you are not your bruises
Everybody uses someone sometimes
And baby we are only human
But I don't let my guard down for no one
Cause I, I've been bruised before
(Take it all, take it away
Throw it in my face
Everybody gets used
I've been bruised)
