Bruised Water

My skin is like a map

Of where my heart has been

And I cant hide the marks

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

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 fall

With no safety net to cushion the blow

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

I bruise easily
