So be gentle when you handle me

My skin is like a map

of where my heart has been

and I can't hide the marks

but its not a negative thing

so I let down my guard

drop my defences down by my clothes

I'm learing to fall

with no savety 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 finger prints

an 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

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

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 4x

wooooh

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 bruise easily

oooh

i bruise easily
