Bruises Lyrics - Retro Youth

Verse 1: 

This life is a melting pot of misdemeanour, 

the streets they harbour no sympathy and they're getting meaner. 

It takes it's toll on you am I am I getting through now. 

It takes it's toll on you. 

You might have noticed I wear my feelings on my sleeves and, we're all so cold and alone we're almost scared to breathe and, 

It takes it's toll on you am I am I getting through now. 

It takes it's toll on you. 

Pre-Chorus: 

No matter how much it hurts, don't let them disprove your worth. You just gotta remember that and you will get through (this) 

Chorus: 

These bruises, they make me who I am, sticks and stones may break my bones but they've made me a better man. 

Verse 2: 

Those who stand in your way or seek to undermine you, just keep your head up remember karma always finds you. 

Just keep saying "Oh I'mma do what I do, Oh I'mma do what I do" 

No-one in this life should make you wanna take your own. 

Don't keep stressing n second guessing the path you're on 

Just keep saying "Oh your words aren't getting through now, your words aren't getting through" 

Chorus: 

These bruises, they make me who I am, sticks and stones may break my bones but they've made me a better man. 

These bruises, they weren't a part of my plan, but time heals all get up if you fall and say this is who I am. 

Breakdown: 

Through it all, no matter what the rise or fall I'll hold my head up high. 

I am the product of my own damn life. 

Pre-Chorus: 

No matter how much it hurts, don't let them disprove your worth. You just gotta remember that and you will get through (this) 

Chorus: 

These bruises, they make me who I am, sticks and stones may break my bones but they've made me a better man. 

These bruises, they weren't a part of my plan, but time heals all get up if you fall and say this is who I am.
