Bruises & Scratches

She can take the pain away
Save it for a rainy day
While he's popping pills
She keeps the hair out of his face
He likes getting high
Which gets her pretty low
Oh, says that he's in love with her
Through a cloud of smoke

Maybe she's in love with the boy
With bruises and scratches all over his skin, oh
Maybe she's in love with the noise
Of hearing him talking over her voice

He can make it all okay
Throwing both of their lives away
Falling down the stairs
While she's falling for all his mistakes
He likes getting high
Which gets her pretty low
Most days they're hanging out
And he doesn't even know that

Maybe she's in love with the boy
With bruises and scratches all over his skin, oh
Maybe she's in love with the noise
Of her mom and dad asking: When can we meet him?

Maybe she's in love with him
That or methamphetamine
Thinking 'bout himself is the only thing that interests him
She likes going out
While he's looking deep within
Says he's got the answers
But he doesn't know a thing
Oh

Maybe she's in love with the boy
With bruises and scratches all over his skin, oh
Maybe she's in love with the noise
Of hearing him talking over her voice, oh
Maybe she's in love with him
That or methamphetamine
I don't think he's listening
Maybe it's the ketamine
Maybe she's in love with the boy

With bruises and scratches all over his skin, oh
Maybe she's in love with the noise
Of hearing him talking over her voice, oh
Maybe she's in love with a boy
With bruises and scratches all over his skin, oh
Maybe she's in love with the noise
Of her mom and dad asking: When will you leave him?
