Bruises On Love
by Lyn Ewald
Lyrics
Verse 1
You left your coat on my chair
Still got your shape in the room
I touch the sleeve, then I stare
Like that might bring back you
Your name still burns on my phone
Right where my thumb used to stay
I hear that ping in my bones
Then it just slips away
Pre-Chorus
I tried to laugh it off
Tried to talk it down
But every little thing
Keeps pulling me under now
Chorus
Love hurts, love hurts
It knows where to cut
Love hurts, love hurts
And I can’t shut it up
I keep on saying
I’m fine, I’m fine
But love hurts, love hurts
Every time
Verse 2
There’s a cup by the sink
That you never washed clean
I swear I still see you think
In the edges of that scene
The door makes the same old sound
The floorboard talks when I pass
I keep on looking around
For the part that didn’t last
Pre-Chorus
I tried to lock it tight
Tried to save the day
But the house remembers you
In a hundred little ways
Chorus
Love hurts, love hurts
It knows where to cut
Love hurts, love hurts
And I can’t shut it up
I keep on saying
I’m fine, I’m fine
But love hurts, love hurts
Every time
Bridge
If I could take it back
I’d leave the lights off
I’d keep your arms off me
I’d keep my heart locked
But even now
In the quiet you left
I miss the ache
I miss the rest
Final Chorus
Love hurts, love hurts
It knows where to cut
Love hurts, love hurts
And I can’t shut it up
I keep on saying
I’m fine, I’m fine
But love hurts, love hurts
Every time
Love hurts, love hurts
Still under my skin
Love hurts, love hurts
And I let it in
