Bruise Lyrics

I woke up with a bruise on my breast

Yellow smudge, purple blush at the edge

I tried to wash it off

I think it's from not being touched enough

I stayed up: Only Lovers Left Alive

I want to sleep with someone's arm 'cross my thigh

I tried to walk it off

This feeling of not being warm enough

If it's not what you have, then it's nothing you need

I'm getting real good at making believe

That's true

I lit up, loose the fist in my chest

Do you, too, when the doorways compress

I tried to count it off

One more breath before I'm fine enough

I made up a daydream of you

Phantom hand to pull me on through

I try to laugh it off

You can't always get what you want

They say to give up or they say to get out

And both can't be true, but it's better than doubt

Doubting the game

I woke up

I woke up

I woke up

I woke up
