Bruises
Verse One
The air’s feeling harsh on my skin; I’m exposed
Your love was my home and I felt safe enclosed
Now you’re gone
Bridge
You ripped through my soul
Like a blade across my skin
You blew out of proportion
The most innocent of sins
Keep watching from your window
As I battle through this life
I have a lot to show you
So go switch on all the lights
Chorus
I’ll show you all my bruises
'Cause I know they will fade
Your precious brittle glory
Won’t come around again
I don’t know life without you
I’m scared but not afraid
I’ll never hide my bruises
'Cause I know they will fade
Verse Two
My life was a fortress we built on our own
That’s years in the making, destroyed and overthrown
Heaven knows…
Bridge
You ripped through my soul
Like a blade across my skin
You blew out of proportion
The most innocent of sins
Keep watching from your window
As I battle through this life
I have a lot to show you
So go switch on all the lights
Chorus
I’ll show you all my bruises
'Cause I know they will fade
Your precious brittle glory
Won’t come around again
I don’t know life without you
I’m scared but not afraid
I’ll never hide my bruises
'Cause I know they will fade
Climax
You love to see me wounded
You will hate it when I run
So even as I’m limping
The game’s already won
I’ll never hide my bruises
The game’s already won
Chorus
I’ll show you all my bruises
'Cause I know they will fade
Your precious brittle glory
Won’t come around again
I don’t know life without you
I’m scared but not afraid
I’ll never hide my bruises
'Cause I know they will fade
Ending
I’ll never hide my bruises
'Cause I know they will fade
