bruises - robert haynes iii lyrics
(verse 1)
in the shadows of my mind, i carry the weight
of every hurtful word, every blow, every mistake
i’m just a boy, with a heart that’s torn
bruises on my skin, scars that are worn
oh, i never want to, never want to
show the pain ‘cause the cuts are things i do
to myself, but the bruises on my body
shows how many times they got to me
(chorus)
bruises on my body, reminders of pain
but i won’t let them define me, i won’t let them restrain
i’ll rise above the darkness, find strength in my truth
follow whatever path my heart will choose
i wanna stop cutting my wrist, and live a happy life
but for that to happen i need to put down, the knife
(verse 2)
they try to hurt me by pretending to reach out their hand
through the tears and the laughter, i’ll make my stand
their words may cut deep like the knife, but i won’t let them win
i’ll hold on to my dreams, let the healing begin
and, not let them control
my life and push away my future, ‘cause it’s my future i will pull
towards me, not run to it
you can try to stop me, but it may take a bit
(chorus)
bruises on my body, reminders of pain
but i won’t let them define me, i won’t let them restrain
i’ll rise above the darkness, find strength in my truth
follow whatever path my heart will choose
i wanna stop cutting my wrist, and live a happy life
but for that to happen i need to put down, the knife
(bridge)
through every storm i’ve weathered, i’ve grown strong
my spirit won’t be broken, i’ll prove them wrong
i’ll paint my scars with colors, wear them like a crown
a testament to the fighter that i have become
(chorus)
bruises on my body, reminders of pain
but i won’t let them define me, i won’t let them restrain
i’ll rise above the darkness, find strength in my truth
follow whatever path my heart will choose
i wanna stop cutting my wrist, and live a happy life
but for that to happen i need to put down, the knife
(outro)
to everyone who’s hurting, who carries their own load
know that you’re not alone, there’s a fire within your soul
together we’ll rise, we’ll find a way to heal
let’s embrace our bruises, let the pain reveal
