lyrics

Necessary Bruise

All I am
Is my brave face
All I am
Will be replaced

All around me, sinking sand
All around me, outstretched hands
Until I am, bloody and bruised
All from trying to avoid you

Chorus

Let me tell you all about the day I lost my mind
It was a Thursday afternoon
It was a grey day, it was the perfect day
For me to save my own life

You see the ghosts, they followed me home and
Whispered through the night
I could have passed you off, I could have left you there
But I put up a fight

Sometimes you have to break, before you can bend

This story’s over, this tale is done
You wouldn’t listen anyway
Because you never hit me
But you bruise so deep
