Bruises
Lewis Capaldi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since my love up and got lost on me
And every breath that I've been takin'
Since you left feels like a waste on me
I've been holding onto hope
That you'll come back when you can find some peace
'Cause every word that I've heard spoken
Since you left feels like a hollow street
I've been told, I've been told to get you off my mind
But I hope I never lose the bruises that you left behind
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord, I need you by my side
There must be somethin' in the water
'Cause every day, it's gettin' colder
And if only I could hold you
You'd keep my head from goin' under
Maybe I, maybe I'm just being blinded
By the brighter side
Of what we had because it's over
Well, there must be somethin' in the tide
I've been told, I've been told to get you off my mind
But I hope I never lose the bruises that you left behind
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord, I need you by my side
There must be somethin' in the water
'Cause every day, it's gettin' colder
And if only I could hold you
You'd keep my head from goin' under
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
It's your love I'm lost in
Your love I'm lost in
Your love I'm lost in
And I'm tired of bein' so exhausted
Your love I'm lost in
Your love I'm lost in
Your love I'm lost in
Even though I'm nothin' to you now
Even though I'm nothin' to you now
There must be somethin' in the water
'Cause every day, it's gettin' colder
And if only I could hold you
You'd keep my head from goin' under
There must be somethin' in the water
'Cause every day, it's gettin' colder
And if only I could hold you
You'd keep my head from goin' under
Lewis Capaldi's song "Bruises" is a heartbreaking ballad about the aftermath of a breakup. The singer is counting the days since his love left him and feeling like everything he does is a waste without her. He still has hope that she will come back, but every word he hears rings hollow without her. Despite being told to move on, he clings onto the bruises that she left behind as a reminder of their love. He acknowledges that he may be blinded by nostalgia, but he can't help hoping for a reunion. The song's chorus repeats the haunting refrain, "there must be something in the water," suggesting that the world seems colder and more surreal without his love. He wishes he could hold her and have her mitigate the pain of the world.
The lyrics of "Bruises" are poignantly written, conveying the deep sadness and longing of a broken heart. The song's clever use of imagery creates a powerful sense of isolation and despair. The metaphor of counting days and holding onto bruises is both poignant and evocative. When he refers to "something in the water," it suggests that the world is no longer a familiar and safe place without his love. Lewis Capaldi's mournful vocals compliment the song's haunting melody, making "Bruises" a memorable and emotional ballad.

I was an atheist in the past, but thanks to a person who talked about God with me, using words different from the words everyone used to fight with me for being an atheist, I came to believe and realize the true presence of God in my life. That person talked about science, and when I said that God did not exist, the person told me that God does not need to exist, because it was God who created the concept of existence. God is infinitely beyond the laws of the universe and we are not able to understand the presence of God, but God is who he is, even though we, mere beings in the universe, are not able to understand this. I may not understand, but I feel the presence of God. I am infinitely grateful to the person who explained this to me, because he saved my life.
