Bruises Lyrics

Bruises on my back

Shaking in my bed

But you didn't hit me

Did you?

Guess you just don't know

Your own strength

It's my fault, right?

Shouldn't have pissed you off

Wish I wasn't so tough

Hiding in the bathroom, in my tomb

Hoping for something to bloom

Finding all kinds of excuses, it's your past

It's your bruises, it's your mom, it's your dad

It's all the things you never had

But if you wanna punish me for all their mistakes

After breaking me, could you please

Don't forget to heal me

Thinking of the time I still used to dream

About some peace and a little ice cream

Now all I wish for is some self-esteem

How come I'm just not able to leave

Nightmares, screaming, tables turning

All the fear that's anchored in so deeply

Crying, cursing, but still hoping

For the battle to disappear

Finding all kinds of excuses, it's your past

It's your bruises, it's your mom, it's your dad

It's all the things you never had

If you wanna punish me for all their mistakes

After breaking me, could you please

Don't forget to heal me

Nightmares, screaming, tables turning

All the fear that's anchored in so deeply

Crying, cursing, but still hoping

For the battle to disappear

Don't forget to heal me
