I Bruise Easily

My skin is like a map

Of where my heart has been

And I can't hide the marks

But it's not a negative thing

So I let down my guard

Drop my defenses

Down by my clothes

I'm learning to fall

With no safety net

To cushion the blow

I bruise easily

So be gentle

When you handle me

There's a mark you leave

Like a love heart

Carved on a tree

I bruise easily

Can't scratch the surface

Without moving me

Underneath

I bruise easily

I bruise easily, yeah

I found your fingerprints

On a glass of wine

Do you know you're leaving them

All over this heart of mine too

But if I never take

This leap of faith

I'll never know

So I'm learning to fall

With no safety net

To cushion the blow

I bruise easily

So be gentle

When you handle me

There's a mark you leave

Like a love heart

Carved on a tree

I bruise easily

Can't scratch the surface

Without moving me

Underneath

I bruise easily

I bruise easily

Anyone who can touch you

Can hurt you or heal you

Anyone who can reach you

Can love you or leave you

(So be gentle)

So be gentle

So be gentle

(So be gentle)

So be gentle

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I bruise easily

So be gentle

When you handle me

There's a mark you leave

Like a love heart

Carved on a tree

I bruise easily

Can't scratch the surface

Without moving me

Underneath

I bruise easily

I bruise easily

I bruise easily

(So be gentle)

When you handle me

There's a mark you leave

Like a love heart

Carved on a tree

I bruise easily

(Can't scratch the surface)

Without moving me

Underneath

I bruise easily

I bruise easily

Yeah, yeah, yeah

(I bruise easily)

Oh, yeah, oh

I bruise easily
