"Bruised Fruit" lyrics - ST. PAUL AND THE BROKEN BONES

Blood is what I can't escape
Harbored in the DNA
Finger on a trigger now
Figuring out just how did we get this far
How did it get so hard
Twinkle in your eye is gone
You did nothing right, you did nothing wrong
There's pictures of you on the wall
But no one seems to recall the love that you gave
The love that you forsake

[Chorus:]
And I want you to know you won't cry alone
You're in my when I stay
You're in me when I bleed
You're in me when I pray
You're in me when I leave
'Til the lights go out some day

Tangle in a southern state
Wrestling with a little thing
Urgency inside your eyes
Wishing that somehow did we get this far
How did it get oh so hard
Bruised fruit on the kitchen floor
Gravity we can't escape
Teach me to be all alone
Teach me to belong to nothing but blood

[Chorus 2x]
