Chicane Bruised feat. Natasha Bedingfield Lyrics

My skin is like a map
My skin carries the marks of my past experiences, like a map of my emotions.

Of where my heart has been
These marks show the places where my heart has been hurt or touched.

And I can't hide the marks
I cannot conceal or ignore the emotional scars that I carry.

Its not a negative thing
These marks are not necessarily bad or negative, but a part of who I am.

So I let down my guard
I am willing to be vulnerable and open, even though it comes with risks.

Drop my defenses down by my clothes
I let go of my emotional armor, leaving me exposed and defenseless.

I'm learning to fall
I am taking the risk of falling in love and being hurt, as a part of my emotional growth.

With no safety net to cushion the blow
I am not relying on any safeguards or emotional barriers to soften the impact of any emotional damage.

I bruise easily
I am emotionally vulnerable and fragile, and easily get hurt.

So be gentle when you handle me
I need others to be careful and kind when dealing with my emotions.

There's a mark you leave
Every interaction with me, whether positive or negative, leaves a mark on my emotional state.

Like a love heart carved on a tree
These marks are permanent, like a carving on a tree that cannot be erased.

Can't scratch the surface
You cannot interact with me superficially without affecting my deeper emotions.

Without moving me underneath
Every interaction with me impacts my deeper emotions and feelings.

I found your fingerprints
Your influence and impact are visible in my emotions, like fingerprints left behind.

On a glass of wine
This influence is evident in the smallest things, like a glass of wine.

Do you know you're leaving them
Are you aware of the impact you are having on my emotions?

All over this heart of mine too
These impacts are also leaving visible marks on my heart.

But if I never take this leap of faith
If I do not take this risk and be vulnerable, I will never know love or emotional growth.

I'll never know
I will never experience this growth or love if I am not brave enough to take the risk.

Anyone who can touch you
Anyone who interacts with me can make an impact, positive or negative.

Can hurt you or heal you
This impact can cause emotional pain or help with emotional healing.

Can love you or leave you
This impact can lead to love or abandonment.

So be gentle
It is important to be kind and understanding of my emotional state and needs.
