These bruises are my burdens
They are not for you to bear
I keep the colours at bay with a smile and a sweater
You are not strong enough to hold this weight
The weight of my broken soul, crumbled into a million pieces
You are only one person, I am only one girl
The bathroom, the bedroom, the couch in the basement
They all make me sad now, they all give me bruises
But you are only one person and I am only one girl
We will love and we will break
Don't fix me, fix yourself
And for the love of God,
Heal your bruises, not mine

These bruises are my burdens
They are not for you to bear
I keep the colours at bay with a smile and a sweater
You are not strong enough to hold this weight
The weight of my broken soul, crumbled into a million pieces
You are only one person, I am only one girl
The bathroom, the bedroom, the couch in the basement
They all make me sad now, they all give me bruises
But you are only one person and I am only one girl
We will love and we will break
Don't fix me, fix yourself
And for the love of God,
Heal your bruises, not mine
