I Bruise Easily (Live At the Nokia Theatre, New York)
[Intro]
Thank you
Oh, yeah, yeah
How many people know there's another side to loving someone that's not always easy, you know? It's like you have all the wonderful feelings of I love you, I love you, I love you, you know? Oh my gosh. But what about the other side we have to show that person the real you, you know? When the date's over, and when you, you know, start actually going out and you start showing your heart? That's what this song's about
Oh yeah, yeah, mmm, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
My skin is like a map
Of where my heart has been
And I can't hide thе marks
But it's not a negative thing
So I let down my guard, drop my dеfenses down by my clothes
I'm learning to fall with no safety net to cushion the blow
[Chorus]
I bruise easily, so be gentle when you handle me
There's a mark you leave
Like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily
Can't scratch the surface without moving me
Underneath, I bruise easily
I bruise easily, yeah
[Verse 2]
I found your fingerprints
On a glass of wine
Do you know you're leaving them
All over this heart of mine too?
But if I never take this leap of faith, I'll never know
So I'm learning to fall with no safety net to cushion the blow
[Chorus]
I bruise easily, so be gentle when you handle me
There's a mark you leave
Like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily
Can't scratch the surface without moving me
Underneath, I bruise easily
I bruise easily
[Bridge]
Anyone who can touch you
Can hurt you or heal you
Anyone who can reach you
Can love you or leave you
(So be gentle) Oh
(So be gentle)
So be gentle with me (So be gentle)
So be gentle
So be gentle with me, baby
Oh yeah yeah
[Chorus]
I bruise easily, so be gentle when you handle me
There's a mark you leave
Like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily
Can't scratch the surface without moving me
Underneath, I bruise easily (Yeah, I bruise easily)
[Bridge]
Anyone who can touch you
Can hurt you or heal you
Anyone who can reach you
Can love you or leave you
Anyone who can touch you
Can hurt you or heal you
Anyone who can reach you
Can love you or leave you
[Outro]
I bruise easily
Oh yeah
I bruise easily
