"Bruises" lyrics

"Bruises"

I'm covered in bruises
Been beating myself up
If you could see the marks that I leave on my own heart
You'd probably call the cops
But no one can save me
And you can't make it stop
Covered in bruises
'Cause I'm just never good enough

Striving for perfection
As if it can be done
Been watching everybody
Posting pictures of their flaws
And preach about self-love
But no one can make me
I'm gonna throw every punch
I'm covered in bruises
'Cause I'm just never good enough

But I hide it well
As far as you can tell
I'm full of confidence
Make-up and a smile
And so much style
But underneath my dress

I'm covered in bruises
Been beating myself up
If you could hear the violent words that creep into my thoughts
You'd offer me a hug
But I would just push you away
Because it hurts to be touched
Covered in bruises
'Cause I'm just never good enough

Covered in bruises
Don't know why I thought you'd give a fuck
