Luke Christopher - BRUISES lyrics

[Intro] Ah, a philosophy [Verse 1] You won't be scared of the big bad wolf If your house's always made of bricks, and so it is She let the wrong man come inside 'Cause the house was only built of sticks as a kid She had to blossom in the shade, problem became The only thing she knew about herself was her name And so she struggled with the embarra**ment and the shame And now she's scared of love 'cause she remembers her pain She remembers the way, she remembers the day She was scared to tell her father 'cause of what he would say And 'cause of that she still dealing with it today I could swear that there's some bruises that ain't going away [Chorus] Ooh, she got bruises, hey They never went away Bruises, yeah They never went away Ooh, I'm gon' heal you, baby I will make sure you can love again [Verse 2] I met her when she was seventeen and I was up by a year She hadn't told me why I couldn't whisper words in her ear And why whenever I would kiss her, she would quiver with fear And how I, even when she laughed, I could still see her tear But man, she so beautiful and I want her to know it So when she finally told me, man, I f**ing exploded I take a gun to a n***a, in a second unloaded Who the f** would have a child and in a second disown it? Not to mention what you did to a woman's emotions How every day, she got to walk the hall and keep her composure How the past brings emotions even when she gets older Thanks to you, motherf**er, I can't barely even hold her [Chorus] Ooh, she got bruises, hey They never went away Bruises, yeah They never went away Ooh, I'm gon' heal you, baby I will make sure you can love again [Outro] I'm gon' heal you, baby I will make sure you can love again
