Bruise Lyrics by Yumi Zouma

2019

[Verse 1]
Take my body home
Let me out at night
Like I was an alpha
And the lines were crossed
Look at what's to come
Never led me on
Never gave you access
Better at the door

[Verse 2]
You call me up, to tell me that
You're taking back your self
I hear the sounds, of them again
And now we're sticking through the end
I'm waking up, to find your fate
It's coming on too strong
You're feeling stranded in the soul
It's not enough to keep me warm

[Chorus]
So why have we got something to prove
And why am I still losing
'Cause I want it too bad
Want it too bad for you
And we're fighting but you don't leave a bruise
And I'm trying to forget it
But if maybe I go, then will you go, too

[Verse 3]
Steal another look
Can you read me now
Give an anecdotal
On another cloud
Looking through the heat
Falling off their face
Even in the present
I was just too late

[Verse 4]
I'm not the one to make you cry
Back to the thoughts, you stay
Too many words, to all the days
When there's a chance you walk away
Believe the mess, it's there to hold
I know this all too well
Apologize, no need to care
About all the lies I tell myself

[Chorus]
So why have we got something to prove
And why am I still losing
'Cause I want it too bad
Want it too bad for you
And we're fighting but you don't leave a bruise
And I'm trying to forget it
But if maybe I go, then will you go, too

[Bridge]
We were cold and we were throwing stones
I get tired, but this is getting old
Tell me why you think it's in your bones
We were cold and we were throwing stones
You and I, we were feeling old
We were dying not to get too close

[Chorus]
So why have we got something to prove
And why am I still losing
'Cause I want it too bad
Want it too bad for you
And we're fighting but you don't leave a bruise
And I'm trying to forget it
But if maybe I go, then will you go, too
