"Bruises" lyrics

You're the one
Bleeding out
Now you're screaming out

He's got blood on his hands, babe
Hands, babe
And you're the one bleeding out
Now you're screaming out
You need to run and run far away
'Cause he'll never let you out
Only let you down again

You're making up a story
So your friends will never worry
Just smile when you're hurting
Hoping no one sees the burden
Just re-arrange the truth to fit the life you want for you
You tell yourself he loves you so it hurts less when he leaves you with bruises

You didn't choose this
He's turned you to a shell
Feeling empty in hell
That's called "abusive"
You're just used to it
You don't want no one else
You're not asking for help

I know
Don't I know, babe
Don't I know
Don't I know, babe
Sorry

He's got blood on his hands, babe
And you're the one bleeding out
Now you're screaming out
You need to run and run far away
'Cause he'll never let you out
Only let you down again

He's the devil
You're just one of many victims
It's never been you
He just likes to feel like he wins
You need to understand there's nothing that will change him
You need to wake up with someone who wouldn't dream of giving you these bruises

You didn't choose this
He's turned you to a shell
Feeling empty in hell
That's called "abusive"
You're just used to it
You don't want no one else
You're not asking for help

I know
Don't I know, babe
Don't I know
Don't I know, babe
