The Ruse - Contagious Lyrics

The hardest part of giving up
Is not knowing when you're done
I used to think I was tough enough
To last forever, to call your bluff

So how do you know when you're done
When the battle at hand just can't be won

This hurt is contagious
And only time will save us
Never alone
I can't give you all away
Never alone
What will it take to make you stay
Stay, stay

It's the damaged start I have to stop
All the time it took to find out who we are
My guilt assured for my part
I bear forever I can't hide this scar

So how do you know when it's done
When the battle at hand just can't be won

This hurt is contagious
And only time will save us
Never alone
I can't give you all away
Never alone
What will it take to make you stay
Stay, stay

You took the time to write me off
You held me close you made me soft
Now I am falling apart
I blurred the line and you took it all
A dying sign, there's nothing left at all

This hurt is contagious
This hurt is contagious

This hurt is contagious
(and I can't give you all away)
And only time will save us
(and I can't give you all away)
Never alone
I can't give you all away
Never alone
What will it take to make you stay
