i bruise easily

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

i bruise easily

i bruise easily
