Bruises
Concealed Struggles: Seeking Light Amidst Bruises
Lyrics
She tries to hide the bruises she says it wasn't him
She conceals physical injuries, denying her partner's involvement.
But sometimes he looses his temper
Her partner occasionally loses control of his anger.
And again he'll come home and look for a fight
He returns home looking for conflict, creating a tense atmosphere.
But she tells herself it's alright
Despite the situation, she rationalizes and tells herself it's acceptable.
She hopes someday it's alright
She holds onto hope that things will eventually be fine.
she doesn't tell anybody but everyone can tell
She keeps the struggles hidden, but others sense something is wrong.
That there's something she's hiding, she hasn't been herself
There's an evident change in her behavior, indicating internal turmoil.
But she still goes out everynightshe tells herself it's alright
Despite the challenges, she continues socializing, convincing herself it's okay.
She hopes someday it's alright...its alright..its alright..its alright
Repeated affirmation that she hopes for eventual well-being.
she has to make excuses for all of this abuse
She invents reasons to justify the mistreatment she faces.
And it's sad the truth is she's scared of what he'll do
It's revealed she fears her partner's reaction if she leaves.
If she'd ever walk out of his life
If she decides to exit the relationship, she anticipates consequences.
So she tells herself it's alright
Despite the hardships, she maintains a self-assuring narrative.
She hopes someday it's alright..it's alright..
Reiterating the hope for eventual reassurance and normalcy.
It's alright... it's alright.. it's alright... it's alright..
Continued emphasis on the desire for things to be okay.
She sits and she waits its not getting any better
She waits, acknowledging the situation isn't improving.
It's never too late but she knows its now or never
Despite the challenges, she recognizes the urgency of the situation.
She'll get up the strength to stand up to him tonight
Expressing determination to confront her partner and take a stand.
'cause she knows that it's alright
Confidently stating that she believes everything will be alright.
