[Verse 1]
She wore bruises no one could see
Smiling like the hurt was free
Carried it home in her hoodie sleeves
Tried to breathe through what she grieves
Broken words on the kitchen floor
Broken trust behind each door
Broken love, then she asked for more
Now she don’t believe in safe no more
[Pre-Chorus]
But the night can’t keep her still
Hands shake, yet she stands up still
Heart got bent, but not got killed
She’s learning how to bend her will
[Chorus]
Bruises under skin
Still she lives again
Bruises under skin
She won’t fold in the end
Say it soft, say it loud
I’m still here right now
Bruises under skin
But I rise again
[Verse 2]
Mental wars in a crowded room
Old bad thoughts in a cheap perfume
Flash of pain, then a swallowed boom
She been carrying too much too soon
Physical ache in her ribs like stones
Emotional cuts in the marrow bones
Yet she keeps on making her own
Little light in the hardest zones
[Pre-Chorus]
But the mirror knows her name
Not the shame, not the blame
Every scar became a flame
And she’s not the same
[Chorus]
Bruises under skin
Still she lives again
Bruises under skin
She won’t fold in the end
Say it soft, say it loud
I’m still here right now
Bruises under skin
But I rise again
[Bridge]
If love was a lock, she broke the key
If trust was a lie, she set it free
No more kneeling for the hurt to see
No more begging to be complete
She takes the weight and she lays it down
Tears hit hard, then they hit the ground
One deep breath, then another sound
That’s her soul coming back around
[Final Chorus]
Bruises under skin
Still she lives again
Bruises under skin
She won’t fold in the end
Say it soft, say it loud
I’m still here right now
Bruises under skin
But I rise again
