"bruised" november 14, 2023
verse 1
didn't want it to happen like it did but
it's over, it's ended, good luck.
and god i tried to read your mind
'cause you never let me in.
now it's over, i'm sober,
but i still have that feeling.
chorus
i did everything.
i tried to perfect myself
while you were with someone else.
wanted to be that someone else.
and i lost sight of it.
i tried to be who you wanted.
i wasn't what you wanted.
verse 2
bent over the toilet in self destruction.
i wanted to be how you said you want it.
and god i paid the price to be saved
by you but was overlooked.
i can't react, i won't get back
all my self you took.
chorus
i did everything.
i tried to perfect myself
while you were with someone else.
wanted to be that someone else.
and i lost sight of it.
i tried to be who you wanted.
i wasn't what you wanted.
bridge
i gave myself away,
and i was the one who prayed
for nights that you'd look my way.
god, why was i so full of faith
that you'd ever speak to me
any way but platonically?
you took all my self-esteem
just wanted you to see
me, but now's my time to mend.
i'm not doing this again.
i lost my oldest friend
behind her white picket fence.
now i don't obey you.
now i'm somebody new.
see, you always had to prove
that you'd never end up bruised.
see, you always had to prove
that you'd never end up bruised.
chorus
i did everything.
i tried to perfect myself
while you were with someone else.
wanted to be that someone else.
and i lost sight of it.
i tried to be who you wanted.
i wasn't what you wanted.
outro
see, you always had to prove
that you'd never end up bruised.
see, you always had to prove
that you'd never end up bruised.
see, you always had to prove
that you'd never end up bruised.
see, you always had to prove
that you'd never end up bruised.
