Bruises - Leggy

Sentimental value city,

Fake gold jewelry

All the compliments he’s given got me livid

Faith is d r i f t i n g like a comet

I thought I heard a sonnet

I thought he was Adonis

But he broke my little heart like it was just

A pinky promise

And there are bruises on my legs where your fingers were

Here I am feeling things I thought for sure I would never feel

And so I take another drag of your cigarette

And hold your hand like a purse I own

I know that it’s counterfeit but

I show it off like it’s real

I show it off like it’s real

Feelin' lazy on the floorboards,

Blazin' in the kitchen

All my words that I have given feel so distant

And my memory is f o l k l o r e

It’s hard not to accept more

Not easy to behave

When there is no one to be sober for

There are bruises on my legs where your fingers were

Here I am feeling things I thought for sure I would never feel

And so I take another drag of your cigarette

And hold your hand like a purse I own

I know that it’s counterfeit but

I show it off like it’s real

I show it off like it’s real

And if an ice cube slipped into my throat

Do you think that it would melt before I choked?

I know that its not safe to drink alone

So why do I do so?

There are bruises on my legs where your fingers were

Here I am feeling things I thought for sure I would never feel

And so I take another drag of your cigarette

And hold your hand like a purse I own

I know it’s a counterfeit but

I show it off like it’s real

I show it off like it’s real
