Bruise

We’d taken pictures of our bruises
Said a man with fragile constitution
I tried to capture you grasping silence
It was most compelling, your greatest defiance

Heaven fallen, now misplaced
I'd like to see you keep your faith
You told me I should get away
Tried to keep you next to me
Despite my fucking pedigree
You never needed legacy
This bruise itself is enough
Had to prove I did everything to deserve your love

You’re a kind of reverie that references the greats
Now you’re my lost cause I search to replace
And this massive sadness should be forsaken
I knew you, but you had me mistaken

Heaven fallen, now misplaced
I'd like to see you keep your faith
You told me I should get away
Tried to keep you next to me
Despite my fucking pedigree
You never needed legacy
This bruise itself is enough
Had to prove I did everything to deserve your love

I saw you healed your bruises
Concealed them at the least
This time I’m really hurting
Don’t think I’ve said my peace
I’ve turned to such a fool girl
This time I know for sure
I’m sitting on forgiveness
You’re runnin with your word
I saw you healed your bruises
Concealed them at the least
This time I’m really hurting
Don’t think I’ve said my peace
I’ve turned to such a fool girl
This time I know for sure
I’m sitting on forgiveness
You’re runnin with your word
With your word

Now you’re my lost cause I search to replace
