Glitter Bruises

[Intro] [Vocal C] I used to hide the hurt Like secrets under sleeves But some scars turn to silver When you finally let them breathe [Verse 1] [Vocal C] There’s a photo in a shoebox From the night we almost stayed You were smiling like a promise I was already afraid We had love like broken headlights Trying hard to find the road Every mile felt like forever Till forever let us go [Pre-Chorus] [Vocal A] Now I don’t cry like I used to I don’t call when I feel weak But sometimes when the room gets quiet Your name still lands on me [Chorus] [All] I’ve got glitter bruises Shining where it hurts Pretty little ruins Underneath my shirt I was blue, I was broken But I’m not who I was Now the pain still leaves a color But it doesn’t stop my love I’ve got glitter bruises And I’m still lighting up [Verse 2] [Vocal A] Yeah, I wore my heart like eyeliner Running down at 2 a.m. Told my friends that I was fine Then missed you all over again But I’m done being dramatic For someone who walked away I can turn a bad goodbye Into a song I’m proud to play [Pre-Chorus 2] [Vocal B] Every crack became a window Every tear became a spark If you thought you left me empty You should see me in the dark [Chorus] [All] I’ve got glitter bruises Shining where it hurts Pretty little ruins Underneath my shirt I was blue, I was broken But I’m not who I was Now the pain still leaves a color But it doesn’t stop my love I’ve got glitter bruises And I’m still lighting up [Bridge] [Vocal C] Maybe we were almost right Maybe we were bad timing [Vocal B] Maybe losing you Was the first time I started fighting [Vocal C] I don’t hate the memories [Vocal B] I just won’t let them own me [Vocal B + Vocal C] If the heartbreak made me honest Then it never really broke me [Soft Breakdown] [Vocal A] So I’ll dance in the damage Laugh through the rain Wear all the pieces Like they spell my name [Final Chorus] [All] [Vocal B ad-libs] I’ve got glitter bruises Shining where it hurts Pretty little ruins Underneath my shirt I was blue, I was broken But I’m not who I was Now the pain still leaves a color But it doesn’t stop my love I’ve got glitter bruises I survived the losing I’ve got glitter bruises And I’m still lighting up [Outro] [Vocal C] I used to hide the hurt Like secrets under sleeves Now I shine through every scar That tried to bury me
