Bruise

Every wiser man than I
Took you apart
Let bodies divide
But every wiser man than I
Had body to start
And some to leave behind
I’ve got scars that open when we kiss
But I don’t mind
Cause I quite like the breeze on my ribs
That seeps inside
When you leave you leave with me
I only bruise for you
I’ve not got skin to lose
Keep it, keep it, keep it to yourself
If you love somebody else
Every wiser man than I
Bury their dead
Set bodies aside
But every space I have to hide
Is tethered to you
And my demons alike
And I don’t believe I breathe without it
Don’t wanna try
I lack the urge to figure out if
I’m on my side
You kiss me when you shut me out
It’s just what I like
I’m too content to fight
I’m broken but it’s right
(Nobody's gonna love you like I do.)
I know I’m supposed to hate it when you hurt me
I know I’m supposed to hate it when you let me down
I know I’m supposed to hate it when you hurt me
But it occupies an idle mind
It keeps me busy from time to time
