Bruises Ellise

[Music Video Inro, Spoken]
Home
I let you into mine
The place I've lived forever
The body I'll one day die in, held hostage
My brain and heart both crawling with the disease of you
It festers deeper and attaches itself to me in ways that seem almost impossible to break
It's as if i need the pain to keep me whole

[Verse 1]
Black and blue, I'm on the edge
Forgave you with your hands around my neck
You steal my breath, you throw me away
I'm only left with bruises
Always played too close to fire
I thought I saw the devil in your eyes
You pull me down, I can't act surprised
I know you're kind, the truth is

[Pre-Chorus]
No chains, no ropes
Don't need 'em, I'm not going home
Can't be alone
You hurt me and I pull you close

[Chorus 1]
I can't tell you why
When you kill me with a smile
I don't wanna lose it
Wish I could unchoose it
All I have are bruises
Let you see inside my mind
Got no tears behind my eyes
I don't wanna skew it
Wish I could undo it
All I have are bruises
