Bruises

I walk you talk
This is the same old story
Where are we going
I don’t know
But let’s go

My bruises are gone
Painful pleasure is long
It’s time to write a song
About a love gone wrong
So here is my story
As short as it can be
I’m not what you see
A better version of me
No longer what I was
Finally I found the cause
Took my scars and my flaws
To create my own laws
About violence and silence
Miscommunications
Lost independence
And painful consequences

I walk you talk
This is the same old story
Where are we going
I don’t know
But let’s go

You were bad for me
It’s taking time to see
When trying to leave
Losing reality
Try letting go
When my feelings show
But you always know
How to tie my bow

When you hold me tight
Everything feels right
Think I just might
Wanna stay the night
When the day has come
My bruises are gone
I have grown numb
And I keep moving on

I walk you talk
This is the same old story
Where are we going
I don’t know
But let’s go
