Lyrics The Echoing Green

The Echoing Green

Battered and Bruised

Guess I had to be kind of blind not to see

How it was bound to be in vain

Hung around for the plot to thicken

While being stabbed again and again

This time I'll burn all bridges leading back

R: Cause I'm not sure I'm strong enough

I simply have to bail

I'm far to frail to be at the receiving end

I feel torn apart and abused

Battered and bruised

I guess I'm stupid to nurture

An addiction to hope

But it's not my only vice

I surrendered again

Thought things would change

Now imagine my surprise

This time I'll burn all bridges leading back

R: Cause I'm not sure I'm strong enough

I simply have to bail

I'm far to frail to be at the receiving end

I feel torn apart and abused

Battered and bruised
