Bruises

I felt your eyes examine my face I watched your fingers take their place I saw your lungs hold their breath Before your mouth caught what was left Cause you're swallowing feelings you You're scared of what they'll do You talk with your words so blue But I'm hiding bruises too And I know your minds in overdrive I know you think that I'm alright I told you breathing was the easy part But I wish you knew that you make that hard You're swallowing feelings you You're scared of what they'll do You talk with your words so blue But I'm hiding bruises too I see your knees grazed by the floor I can tell that you've been here before I recognise the way you look I know the ground from where you stood Cause you're swallowing feelings you You're scared of what they'll do You talk with your words so blue But I'm hiding bruises too You don't tell me you're hurt You don't know your worth You are my air if my lungs work You're all that I need So don't make it worse Don't mess up the words I am your air if your lungs work I'm all that you need 'Cause you're swallowing feelings you You're scared of what they'll do You talk with your words so blue But I'm hiding bruises too 'Cause you're swallowing feelings you You're scared of what they'll do You talk with your words so blue But I'm hiding bruises too You're swallowing feelings you You're scared of what they'll do You talk with your world so blue But I'm hiding bruises too
