My skin is like a map
Of where my heart has been
And I can't hide the marks
But it's 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 easilyI 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 I'm learning to fallWith no safety net
To cushion the blowI 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 meUnderneath
