"tender like a bruise (acoustic demo)" lyrics

What was I hoping for?
Some redemption, or a cure
Some salvation, some apparition
To linger on in my kitchen?

Hold the knife to my heart
Hold me tenderly as you tear me apart

What was I hoping for?
Some redemption, or a cure
Some salvation, some apparition
To linger on in my kitchen?

Tears in my eyes
You wipe them for me
You water old story
Of insane agony

What was I hoping for?
Some redemption, or a cure
Some salvation, some apparition
To linger on in my kitchen?

I'll run away
You won't see me
Leave the door open
So I can keep grieving

What was I hoping for?
Some redemption, or a cure
Some salvation, some apparition
To linger on in my kitchen?

When I look at you
I'm tender like a bruise
Fragile like a bomb
I know where I went wrong

And I know what I was hoping for
Some redemption, or a cure
Some salvation, some apparition
To linger on in my kitchen
