I Bruise Easily

My skin is like a map

Of where my heart has been

And I cant hide the marks

Its not a negative thing

So I let down my guard

Drop my defences down by my clothes

I'm learning to fall

With no safety net to cushion the blow

 

I bruise easily

So be gentle when you handle me

Theres a mark you leave

Like a love heart carved on a tree

I bruise easily

Can't scratch the surface

Without moving me underneath

I bruise easily

I bruise easily

 

I found your fingerprints

On a glass of wine

Do you know you're leaving them

All over this heart of mine too

But if I never take this leap of faith

I'll never know

So im learning to fallWith no safety net to cushion the blow

 

I bruise easily

So be gentle when you handle me

Theres a mark you leave

Like a love heart carved on a tree

I bruise easily

Can't scratch the surface

Without moving me underneath

I bruise easily

I bruise easily

 

Anyone who can touch you

Can hurt you or heal you

Anyone who can reach you

Can love you or leave you

 

So be gentle...

 

I bruise easily

So be gentle when you handle me

Theres a mark you leave

Like a love heart carved on a tree

I bruise easily

Can't scratch the surface

Without moving me underneath

I bruise easily

I bruise easily

 

I bruise easily

I bruise easily
