Battered and Bruised (Redux 2 Version)

Battered and bruised tonight

Blood dripping down my shirt

And refuse to fight

So I'm the one who gets most hurt

One big apology

Nobody takes my side

Social pathology

All the things I can't abide

These situations often get confused

So, how come I'm the only one who gets battered and bruised?

Battered and bruised again

Why is it always me?

I sorely need a friend

But not one that's with me through pity

If you want my advice

Don't let them in too close

Be safe, try to think twice

Deepest betrayal hurts the most

These situations often get confused

So, how come I'm the only one who gets battered and bruised?

With time I'll get used to getting used

Reach out and touch the lies or get it all refused

These situations often get confused

So, how come I'm the only one who gets battered and bruised?

With time I'll get used to getting used

Reach out and touch the lies or get it all refused
