I Bruise Easily

Natasha Bedingfield

Oh, ooh, mmm, yeah

My skin is like a map
Of where my heart has been
And I can't hide the marks
But it's not a negative thing

So I let down my guard
Drop my defences down by my clothes
I'm learning to fall with no safety net
To cushion the blow

I bruise easily
So be gentle when you handle me
There's a mark you leave
Like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily
Can't scratch the surface without moving me
Underneath, I bruise easily
I bruise easily, yeah

I found your fingerprints
On a glass of wine
Do you know you're leaving them
All over this heart of mine, too?

But if I never take this leap of faith
I'll never know
So I'm learning to fall with no safety net
To cushion the blow

Anyone who can touch you
Can hurt you or heal you
Anyone who can reach you
Can love you or leave you
So be gentle (ah, so be gentle)
So be gentle
(Yeah, yeah) so be gentle (so be gentle)
Oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)

Yeah, yeah, yeah (I bruise easily)
Oh, yeah, ooh
I bruise easily
