You've been living with your head down Watching time slip away Even with your friends 'round You don't know what to say I can see behind your eyes now You're no longer afraid To feel the pain Don't fade And let it bruise Let it bruise Nothing that I say Or I do Can make you whole Let it bruise Let it bruise Tell me what's been on your mind That dark place you hide I'm calling from the other side To let in the light Time to get out of your head now Out of bed now And stop all the blame There's no time For shame Just feel the pain And let it bruise Let it bruise Nothing that I say Or I do Can make you whole Nothing that I say Or I do Can make you whole Nothing that I say Or I do Can make you whole Just let it bruise Let it bruise Ooh You've got nothing to prove You've got nothing to lose You've got nothing to prove Just let it bruise
