It's just a bruise
It's just a cut
I'm the girl who doesn't feel much
I exist only in the sorrow
I exist with no will for tommorow
I walk by day, I lie by night
I don't want to go on, don't want to fight
Locked in my room turned off the lights
Depression seeps in, only this feels right
I close my eyes, I relive my life
Every painful memory every strife
It's just a bruise, it's just a cut
I lost my child, I lost my husband
My one beautiful child, my only lover
I lost my sister I lost my mother
I lost my father I lost my brother
I lost it all but I am still here
They tell me to be strong
They tell me not to fear
Fear of the future fear of the unknown
I want my baby I want my home
I want my life back all the things I've once known
It's just a bruise, it's just a cut
My boyfriend loves me very much
He just gets angry, and throws a punch
He'll apologize and it'll be fine
Please don't tell anyone, this was the last time
I think I'm pregnant and now I'm scared
I know he doesn't want it, his temper flared
I can't run he always finds me
I know he loves me he told me he couldn't live without me
It's just a bruise, it's just a cut
I was bullied again, today
I got called an ugly whore, a trashy slut
The girls beat my face on the bathroom sink
My face is swollen, I could barely think
The boys pushed me around behind the school
Then riped my shirt off and made me a fool
It's just a bruise It's just a cut
My neighbor offered me a ride to school
So I said yes, he's pretty cool
We've known him 5 years, he's sincere, I believed
But I never got there....I was so naive...
He raped me, violently, in his car
Then he threw me out, so far from home
I can't tell my parents, they'll think I'm a liar, it's so humiliating
My neighbor's an upstanding citizen, he's even a firefighter
I can't ignore the immense pain in my below area
I cried all night, I think I'm going into histerea
I popped some pills to ease it all away
I didn't live to see the next day
..
I walk by day, I lie by night
Every morning I wake up in another life
I see their fear I see their struggles
I feel their pain I know their troubles
It's just a bruise
It's just a cut
I'm the girl who feels too much
