Song: Pressing On A Bruise (Featuring Mat Kearney) - Brad Paisley, Mat Kearney
You were a pain girl,
a thorn in my side
Drove me insane girl,
a white-knuckle ride
So why do I go lookin'
through old photographs
And chase you down the hallways
of our checkered past
Hold on for dear life
and keep the fire fed
I oughta let go but instead
It's like I'm pressing on a bruise
To see if it still hurts
Right now that's all
I've got left of you
Everybody knows
that just makes it worse
But still I do
I could start a new life,
I could move on
I could do a drive by,
and see if you're home
Now there's a fine,
fine line between a memory
And something any shrink
would call an injury
But it's not over long
as you're still hurtin' me
And as I turn onto your street
It's like I'm pressing on a bruise
To see if it still hurts
Right now that's all
I've got left of you
Anybody knows
that just makes it worse
But still I do
Still I do, still I do, still love you
But she's the kind of girl
puts your world on hold
Walk the halls
and you check your phone
Gave up the ghost
and the ghost keeps holdin' on
And you run from the sun
but you curse the rain
Lost the love so
you nurse the pain
Goin' on and on,
singin' that same song
But she's gone
(I can't let it alone)
And you get drunk
on those glory days
(I can't just let it heal)
With a broken heart
and a bitter taste
(No, I can't just let it go)
Well, you light it up
as she burns you down
(I can't just let it heal)
You're smokin' those memories
to the ground
(Like I'm pressing on a bruise)
Yeah, that's the thing
about love and pain
They may look alike
but they're not the same
(No, I can't just let it go)
You've got to let it go go go
(No, I can't just let it heal)
