BRUISE from GORE by CowardlyCrow

Bruise me, bruise me
Purple and black all over my thighs
Press on it, you can feel me sigh
are you ashamed to meet
My eyes?

because they’ve been looking this whole time
I hope when they meet yours that they realize
That they are worth so much more than this
Everything you’ve been through doesn’t have to be
Tainted

I mean this when i say
I would forgive you any day
Accept you with open arms
You just need to admit your faults to me
So i can finally breathe
And be at peace for what you’ve done to me
So i can finally write about being healthy
Instead of indulging in fantasy

If you ever wanted to talk with me
And give up an actual apology
I’ll be there, just give me a call
And i swear i will give you my all

Bruise me, bruise me
Purple and black all over my thighs
Press on it, you can feel me sigh
are you ashamed to meet
Me here?

On the same plane
I bet you can’t even say my name
In fear of something bad happening
I can see through you now, and it’s not stunning
and i don't know why i waited this long
because i know you can never see yourself as wrong
you live in your perfect little world
free me now before i hurl
I can only hope now
That you find someone to help you out
