Bruises
Unspoken Pain: Anderson Rocio's Poignant Message in 'Bruises'
Lyrics
I felt your eyes examine my face
I sensed someone closely examining my face.
I watched your fingers take their place
I observed your fingers finding their position.
I saw your lungs hold their breath
I noticed your breath being held in anticipation.
Before your mouth caught what was left
Before you spoke, your mouth captured the remaining emotions.
'Cause you're swallowing feelings, you
Because you are suppressing your emotions,
You're scared of what they'll do
You are afraid of the potential consequences.
You talk with your words so blue
You express yourself with sad or melancholic words.
But I'm hiding bruises too
But I am also concealing my emotional pain.
I know your minds in overdrive
I understand that your mind is working excessively.
I know you think that I'm alright
You believe I am doing fine.
I told you breathing was the easy part
I informed you that breathing is easy, but emotional struggles are challenging.
But I wish you knew that you make that hard
However, I wish you knew that you contribute to my difficulties.
You're swallowing feelings you
You are suppressing your feelings,
You're scared of what they'll do
Fearful of the repercussions.
You talk with your words so blue
You express yourself with sad or melancholic words.
But I'm hiding bruises too
But I am also hiding my emotional wounds.
I see your knees grazed by the floor
I see evidence of your pain, symbolized by your grazed knees.
I can tell that you've been here before
It's apparent that you've experienced similar hardships before.
I recognize the way you look
I recognize the look of someone who has been through pain.
I know the ground from where you stood
I am familiar with the ground where you once stood.
Cause you're swallowing feelings you
Because you are suppressing your feelings,
You're scared of what they'll do
Fearful of the potential consequences.
You talk with your words so blue
You express yourself with sad or melancholic words.
But I'm hiding bruises too
But I am also concealing my emotional pain.
You don't tell me you're hurt
You don't communicate that you are in pain.
You don't know your worth
You underestimate your own value.
You are my air if my lungs work
You are essential to me as long as you function.
You're all that I need
You are everything I need.
So don't make it worse
So, don't worsen the situation.
Don't mess up the words
Don't complicate things with your words.
I am your air if your lungs work
I am crucial to you as long as I function.
I'm all that you need
I am everything you need.
Cause you're swallowing feelings you
Because you are suppressing your feelings,
You're scared of what they'll do
Fearful of the potential consequences.
You talk with your words so blue
You express yourself with sad or melancholic words.
But I'm hiding bruises too
But I am also hiding my emotional wounds.
Cause you're swallowing feelings you
Because you are suppressing your feelings,
You're scared of what they'll do
Fearful of the potential consequences.
You talk with your words so blue
You express yourself with sad or melancholic words.
But I'm hiding bruises too
But I am also concealing my emotional pain.
You're swallowing feelings you
Because you are suppressing your feelings,
You're scared of what they'll do
Fearful of the potential consequences.
You talk with your world so blue
You express yourself with a world tinted in sadness.
But I'm hiding bruises too
But I am also hiding my emotional wounds.
