Trembling Blue Stars

Sometimes I Still Feel The Bruise

Album: Broken By Whispers [2000]
Author: Bobby Wratten

This is just to say "hello"

And to let you know

I think of you from time to time

I know I never really knew you

But somehow I miss you

And wish that you'd stayed in my life

 

Making contact gets harder

As the silence grows longer

And isn't it only me

Who'd like us to see each other?

How I would hate to be a bother

The way we left it was you'd ring

 

I'm under no illusion

As to what I meant to you

But you made an impression

And sometimes I still feel the bruise

Sometimes I still feel the bruise

 

Now and then I stumble on

What I've misplaced but never lost

An ache I first felt long ago

Though you've appeared and disappeared

Throughout these past few years

I'd be surprised if you now showed

 

Making contact gets harder

As the silence grows longer

And why would you think of me

When you were not the one in love?

When you were not the dreamer?

When you were just the dream?
