My skin is like a map
Of where my heart has been
And I cant hide the marks
Its not a negative thing
So I let down my guard
Drop my defenses down by my clothes
I'm learning to fall
With no safety net to cushion the blow

I bruise easily
So be gentle when you handle me
There’s a mark you leave
Like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily
Can't scratch the surface
Without moving me underneath
I bruise easily
I bruise easily

I found your fingerprints
On a glass of wine
Do you know you're leaving them
All over this heart of mine too
But if I never take this leap of faith
I'll never know
So im learning to fall
With no safety net to cushion the blow

Anyone who can touch you
Can hurt you or heal you
Anyone who can reach you
Can love you or leave you

So be gentle...

I bruise easily
I bruise easily

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeah
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah

 

You left me

Went to her

One day she will see

She got what she deserves

(chorus)

What’s she going to do

When she gets to the bottom of the box

And there she finds you

Will it be a shock?

She expected to get a price, a top ranked show

Instead she got a washed up old man

Trying to be a boy, a toy , an man ho

Still living with mama just cause he can

(chorus)

He plays video games all day

Stays up half the night

Bitches when he don’t get his way

And tries to start a fight

(chorus)

Talks to one, two, three or four

Girls at one time

Tells each they are his only whore

Laughing at them the whole time

(chorus)

He will never have a job

Cause his mommie pays his way

He will always be a slob

The way he is today

(chorus)

Thirty years from now

When he is 60 years old

He will still be at his mama’s

Trying to pick up a 20 year old

(chorus)

I always ask myself why.  Why do I never trust? Why do I always ask to many questions? Why isn't anyone every good enough?  Why do I always go for the wrong person, knowing they are going to break my heart?  Why didn't I see what was going on?  Why did I still love him knowing what he did?  Why did he choose my heart to break?  Why wasn't I smart enough?  Why wasn't I pretty enough? Why wasn't I interesting enough?  Why wasn't I good enough? My dad says I have always asked why.  He said I wanted to know why the sky was blue?  Why I had to go to school?  Why was I the only sister with 3 brothers? Why are the flowers all different colors?  Why is chocolate brown when it should obviously be purple (when I was 4 and in my exact words)? Why is ice cream cold? He said at one point he and Mom thought about changing my middle name to why.  I could not even be told to clean my room without asking why it needed to be done when obviously it was just going to be messed up again.  Well now I sit here staring at this screen and wonder why I let him use me as long as I did.  Why didn't I see all the signs my friends saw?  Why I always go for the same type?  Why did he choose to break MY heart instead of hers?  Why cant I just let down all my walls and trust this new person?  Why does he want to keep pushing me when I tell him I just am not ready yet.  Why am I not ready yet?  WHY OH WHY OH WHY?
