[outro musical solo] [Verse 1] I was a bruised orange, rollin’ down the line Pulp and peel, but a spark divine Found love in the cracks where the light got in A woman’s smile taught me how to begin [Pre-Chorus] Through every storm, through every fall Her gentle whisper answered my call. [Chorus] Bruised orange heart, still beatin’ strong Carried me through when the nights got long Every scar’s a song, every hurt’s a start Singin’ from the pieces of a bruised orange heart [Verse 2] She held my hand through the fame and the fall When the crowds grew loud, or they didn’t come at all Her laugh was a chorus, her touch was a verse Kept me grounded when the world felt cursed [Pre-Chorus] Through every storm, through every fall Her gentle whisper answered my call. [Chorus] Bruised orange heart, still beatin’ strong Carried me through when the nights got long Every scar’s a song, every hurt’s a start Singin’ from the pieces of a bruised orange heart [Bridge] The years pile up like leaves in the yard But love’s the softest when the times get hard She’s my muse, my map, my weathered art The rhythm in this bruised orange heart [Verse 3] The quiet mornings, the shared cup of tea A simple comfort, just her and me She sees the man beneath the stage lights' glare The tender soul, beyond all worldly care. [Outro Chorus] So here’s to the love that keeps me alive Bruised but still singin’ ‘til the day I die Singin’ from the pieces of a bruised orange heart, A love that will never, ever fall apart.
