The Bruise

I wish I was black and blue, I'd hide under your skin You would think I'm just a bruise, but I would be so close to you I'd make my way up through your veins and once you fall asleep I'd break my way into your heart to know what keeps it beating Darlin', lay your head and pull me close But close ain't close enough I wanna feel you from the inside Darlin', lay your head and hold me close Show me all the ropes I wanna feel you from the inside Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I'd build a ladder up into your brain to see the world through your eyes I'd learn all of the things you love and everything that you despise I'd try for days to make you cry so I could ride on your tear I'd ride that tear right down your cheek onto your lips and steal a kiss Darlin', lay your head and pull me close But close ain't close enough I wanna feel you from the inside Darlin', lay your head and hold me close Show me all the ropes I wanna feel you from the inside Ooh, baby, I could love you if you let me I try to hold it, but your heart's too heavy Your eyes talk, but your words won't tell me Won't tell me if you want me too Ooh, baby, I could love you if you let me I know you're hurtin' but your heart's not empty Your eyes talk, but your words won't tell me Won't tell me if you want me too Ooh, baby, I could love you if you let me I try to hold it, but your heart's too heavy Your eyes talk, but your words won't tell me Won't tell me if you want me too Ooh, baby, I could love you if you let me I know you're hurtin' but your heart's not empty Your eyes talk, but your words won't tell me
