bruises

Skylar Grey

I m covered in bruises
Been beating myself up
If you could see the marks
that I leave on my own heart
You d probably call the cops

But no one can save me
And you can t make it stop
Covered in bruises
Cause I m just never good enough

Striving for perfection
As if it can be done
Been watching everybody
posting pictures of their flaws
And preach about self-love

But no one can make me
I m gonna throw every punch
I m covered in bruises
Cause I m just never good enough

But I hide it well
As far as you can tell
I m full of confidence
Makeup and a smile
And so much style
But underneath my dress

I m covered in bruises
Been beating myself up
If you could hear the violent words
that creep into my thoughts
You d offer me a hug

But I would just push you away
Because it hurts to be touched
Covered in bruises
Cause I m just never good enough

Covered in bruises
Don t know why I thought you d give a fuck
