Golden Bruise (Sit With Me) (Remix)

[Intro] Mm... One cup beside the sink One ring in porcelain light [Verse 1] You left one cup beside the sink A little ring where the porcelain sat I traced the stain with my thumb Like I could call the whole day back The room still wears your careful hands Books squared up along the wall I keep finding pieces of goodbye In places too small to name at all [Pre-Chorus] Once I thought that faith meant sunlight Never learning how to bend Then the dark came through my doorway And the questions came again [Chorus] I am a rose with a golden bruise Still opening where I was torn Every beautiful thing we lose Leaves a brighter edge than before You were the rain I could not refuse I was the garden, you were the storm Now I carry what love can do Soft as petals, heavy as gold [Verse 2] Your blue coat hangs behind the door Though winter packed its bags last week I hear your laugh in the hallway floor Then the house remembers how to be quiet Job sat low beneath the ashes With the sky shut tight above Friends came near and said nothing And for a while, that was enough [Pre-Chorus] How quickly words can turn to stones When someone’s barely holding on Teach me, God, to stay beside them Till the longest night is gone [Chorus] I am a rose with a golden bruise Still opening where I was torn Every beautiful thing we lose Leaves a brighter edge than before You were the rain I could not refuse I was the garden, you were the storm Now I carry what love can do Soft as petals, heavy as gold [Bridge] You never said the road was easy You never said I would not weep But You are peace inside the trouble And You are near enough to keep No fixing, no blame, no borrowed phrase To make the sorrow disappear Just a hand that stays in silence Just a God who draws us near [Final Chorus] I am a rose with a golden bruise Still opening, still reborn Every beautiful thing we lose Leaves a brighter edge than before I was the rain, I was the roots I was the garden after the storm Now I know what love can do Soft as petals, heavy as gold [Outro] Teach me when to speak Teach me when to stay Soft as petals Heavy as gold
