Bruised

Verse 1
I see your shadow in the corners of my mind (in my mind)
Words you said linger, replayed a thousand times (times, oooh)
Tried to hold on, but your love just slipped away (slipped away)
Now I’m chasing memories that fade with the day
Every touch I miss (miss), every whisper I crave (crave)
Left me in silence, enduring all this pain (pain, pain, pain)

Pre-Chorus
Thought we were forever, thought we’d never fall
Now I’m picking up pieces you left on the floor
Heart’s still beating, but it’s bruised inside (in-side)
Can’t forget the way you said goodbye (oooh)

Chorus
Why’d you have to hurt me, leave me feeling so low?
All the love I gave you, now my heart’s turned cold
Late nights I’m crying, trying to find my way
Bruised heart, broken soul, but I still love you anyway (oooh)

Verse 2
Pictures on the wall whisper softly your name (whisper your name, oooh)
Smiles that we shared now can’t feel the same
We used to shine so bright, then vanished in the night
I reach for you, but you’re gone from my sight (oooh)
Every song reminds me of what we had
Every laugh now cuts, yeah, it makes me so sad (so, so sad)

Pre-Chorus
Thought we were forever, thought we’d never fall
Now I’m picking up pieces you left on the floor
Heart’s still beating, but it’s bruised inside (in-side)
Can’t forget the way you said goodbye (oooh)

Chorus
Why’d you have to hurt me, leave me feeling so low?
All the love I gave you, now my heart’s turned cold
Late nights I’m crying, trying to find my way
Bruised heart, broken soul, but I’ll survive someday (oooh)

Bridge
I’ll rebuild these walls, piece by piece tonight
Learn to love myself again, hold my heart so tight
Tears may fall, but they’re washing away the pain
Someday I’ll smile, I’ll dance again in the rain (oooh)

Outro
Bruised heart, yeah, I’m healing slow
Love was lost, but I won’t let go
Late nights fade, morning light will show
Even broken hearts can learn to grow (oooh, oooh)
