"Bruises" lyrics
"Bruises"
Counting days, counting days since my love up and got lost on me
And every breath that I've been taken since you left feels like a waste on me
I've been holding on to hope that you'll come back when you can find some peace
Cause every word that I've heard spoken since you left feels like a hollow street
I've been told, I've been told to get you off my mind
But I hope I never lose the bruises that you left behind
Oh my lord, oh my lord, I need you by my side
There must be something in the water
Cause everyday it's getting colder
And if only I could hold you
You'd keep my head from going under
Maybe I, maybe I'm just being blinded by the brighter side
Of what we had because it's over, well there must be something in the tide
I've been told, I've been told to get you off my mind
But I hope I never lose the bruises that you left behind
Oh my lord, oh my lord, I need you by my side
There must be something in the water
Cause everyday it's getting colder
And if only I could hold you
You'd keep my head from going under
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooh
It's your love I'm lost in
Your love I'm lost in
Your love I'm lost in
And I'm tired of being so exhausted
Your love I'm lost in
Your love I'm lost in
Your love I'm lost in
Even though I'm nothing to you now
Even though I'm nothing to you now
There must be something in the water
Cause everyday it's getting colder
And if only I could hold you
You'd keep my head from going under
There must be something in the water
Cause everyday it's getting colder
And if only I could hold you
You'd keep my head from going under
Writer(s): Lewis Capaldi
Lewis Capaldi wrote this ballad on the 7th of October 2016. It was his 20th birthday, and he had recently broken up with his girlfriend. He explained, "At times your memory of an old relationship will be clouded and you'll only seem to remember the best parts of being with someone. Completely ignoring the reasons why things came to an end makes the idea of holding on to it or wanting to go back to it seem more enticing than it actually is."
Producer James Earp helped write this song. Capaldi had never met him until that day when they spent four hours creating and demoing "Bruises". They were on a tight schedule because Capaldi was flying home to celebrate his birthday that evening. He later explained, "Initially we had planned on adding more stuff to it in terms of instrumentation and production and things. That's why the song is so bare and so lacking in terms of production and stuff, because we just didn't have time to add stuff."
