Bruises

Just another day
I’ll try to make it through
I just try and keep my head up high
‘Till I run into you…
The way you make me feel
The words you say to me
They cut me up and leave their scars
Oh why can’t you let me be?

I have bruises on the inside
Scars that run so deep
If my feelings were shown on my skin
I bet I’d be a sight to see

You may not use your fists
To beat me to the ground
But the words that come out of your mouth
Make an awful sound
You tell me that I’m worthless
Sometimes I think your right
It’s been going on for so long
I’m just barely clinging to the light…

I have bruises on the inside
Scars that run so deep
If my feelings were shown on my skin
I bet I’d be a sight to see

I just wish I had the power
To build a wall of stone around me
I wish I had the strength…
But for now I’ll pray to God
That he’ll send an angel to help me
He’s the only one that knows…

That I have bruises on the inside
Scars that run so deep
If my feelings were shown on my skin
I bet I’d be a sight to see

Just another day
I’ll try to make it through…
