Lyrics

Just because my bruises aren't blue

Physical bruises may not be visible or obvious.

Doesn't mean that I'm not hurting too

Internal pain exists despite the absence of visible bruises.

Just because my bruises aren't blue

Reiteration that external appearances can be deceiving.

Doesn't mean that I'm not hurting too

Emphasizes that hidden pain is still present.

Pick up the pieces of everything I left behind

Addressing the aftermath and emotional toll of a situation.

You are the reason I'd never commit suicide

Expressing a reason for enduring life's struggles.

All of my demons are running circles around my mind

Battling inner struggles and mental challenges.

Wash them away

Desire to cleanse or eliminate emotional pain.

Wash them away

Reinforcement of the wish to remove emotional burdens.

She says I think way too much

Someone suggesting an overactive mind.

All of my love is kept safe for us

Reserved love for a specific person or relationship.

Watching my problems pile up

Observing personal problems accumulating.

When's the right time to say enough's enough

Contemplation on when to end or resolve challenges.

Where we do go from here

Uncertainty about the future and the next steps.

I watch the world around me

Observing the world while facing internal fears.

Faced my biggest fears

Confronting and overcoming significant fears.

But I still feel surrounded

Despite progress, feeling emotionally overwhelmed.

So get away from me

Expressing the need for personal space.

Silence is all I need

Desiring peace and quiet for emotional healing.

You could take the pain from me

Wishing for someone to share the burden of pain.

Or we could just suffer together

Proposal to endure hardships together.

Just because my bruises aren't blue

Reiteration of the invisible nature of emotional pain.

Or we could just suffer together

Suggesting solidarity in facing shared pain.

Doesn't mean that I'm not hurting too

Restating the concealed nature of personal suffering.

So why am I pissed off by everything I'm supposed to love

Expressing frustration towards things one should love.

My girl's gone I know that I'm not enough

Feeling inadequate after a significant loss.

My friend's gone you know that I don't give a fuck

Indifference towards the departure of a friend.

I'm never enough and I keep fucking it up

Acknowledging a pattern of self-sabotage and inadequacy.

So why am I pissed off by everything I'm supposed to love

Repetition of frustration towards supposed sources of joy.

My girl's gone I know that I'm not enough

Reflecting on personal insufficiency after a relationship loss.

My friend's gone you know that I don't give a fuck

Unconcerned about the departure of a friend.

I'm never enough and I keep fucking it up

Continued self-recognition of inadequacy.

Just because my bruises aren't blue

Reiteration of hidden emotional pain.

Doesn't mean that I'm not hurting too

Emphasizing the persistence of concealed suffering.

Just because my bruises aren't blue

Repeating the idea of hidden emotional distress.

Doesn't mean that I'm not hurting too

Reiterating the ongoing internal struggles.

So pick up the pieces of everything I left behind

Addressing the aftermath of personal choices and actions.

You are the reason I'm still alive

Attributing survival to a specific person.

All of my demons died tonight

Symbolic death of inner struggles leading to potential healing.

I think I might be alright

Hopeful indication of potential improvement in mental state.

Just because my bruises aren't blue

Reiterating the hidden nature of personal pain.

Doesn't mean that I'm not hurting too

Restating that internal suffering may not be apparent.

Just because my bruises aren't blue

Reiterating the idea that concealed pain exists.

Doesn't mean that i'm not hurting too

Concluding that hidden pain is still present.
