Bruises Lyrics by Desires

A Collection of Thoughts

2017

[Verse 1]
You seem to have a way with words that transcends anything I've heard
The end splits when the words stop making sense
So we [?] and step back to see what we've made
And I know that things can't be the same
But I would throw myself to this scene just to crash like the waves

[Chorus]
Take what's left of me
Cause I've been broken and beaten
My bruises are only there
To show you that I'm healing
Take what's left of me
Cause I've been broken and beaten
My bruises are only there
To show you that I'm healing

[Verse 2]
Back to myself again, the only one to blame
I thought that I was doing better, I just wallow in the pain
This is the last time that I will think about your name
Cause you helped make me who I am, but now things have changed
The wind blows and new waves, the stars rearrange
This all remains true
My heart will still beat even when I'm not next to you

[Chorus]
Take what's left of me
Cause I've been broken and beaten
My bruises are only there
To show you that I'm healing
Take what's left of me
Cause I've been broken and beaten
My bruises are only there
To show you that I'm healing
