My skin is like a map Of where my heart has been And I can’t hide the marks But it’s 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 There’s 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 I’m learning to fall With no safety net to cushion the blow
I bruise easily So be gentle when you handle me There’s 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 There’s 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
