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
