A sharper tongue will cut right through
Is it the way you say it or the words you choose

Bandages are covering
What you thought was thicker skin
Blood is shed, it's all avenged
Now you're left in bandages
You have to cover the wounds in bandages
This is a war you will lose, bandages

A sharper tongue will cut right through
Is it the way you say it or the words you choose
So vindictive, so vulnerable
These reactions are out of your control

Bandages are covering
What you thought was thicker skin
Blood is shed, it's all avenged
Now you're left in bandages
You have to cover the wounds in bandages
This is a war you will lose, bandages

You play with fire, you will burn
You numb the pain too much to ever learn
I left your ego black and blue
Can't cover up the way it has been bruised

Bandages are covering
What you thought was thicker skin
Blood is shed, it's all avenged
Now you're left in bandages
You have to cover the wounds in bandages
This is a war you will lose, bandages, bandages

I'm sending you home (in bandages)
So you can reap what you've sewn (in bandages)
You couldn't humble yourself
You couldn't handle the truth
You didn't know how to lose
And now you're crying for help
And you don't know what to do
When it's not all about you

Bandages are covering
What you thought was thicker skin
Blood is shed, it's all avenged
Now you're left in bandages
You have to cover the wounds in bandages
This is a war you will lose, bandages
I see how bad I hurt you, bandages
There's nothing left here to prove, bandages
