I Bruise Easily by Natasha Bedingfield Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh-ooh-ooh, mmm, yeah

[Verse 1]
My skin is like a map
Of where my heart has been
And I can't hide the marks
But it's not a negative thing
So I let down my guard, drop my defenses down by my clothes
I'm learning to fall with no safety net to cushion the blow

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I found your fingerprints
On 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
[Chorus]
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 (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I bruise easily

[Bridge]
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 (Ah-ah, so be gentle)
So be gentle
(Yeah, yeah) So be gentle (So be gentle)
Oh (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus]
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 (Yeah, I bruise easily)
I bruise easily
(Anyone who) So be gentle
(Can touch you) When you handle me
(Can hurt you) There's a mark
(Or heal you) You leave
(Anyone who) Like a love heart
(Can reach you) Carved on a tree (Can love you)
(Or leave you) I bruise easily
Can't scratch the surface without moving me
Underneath, I bruise easily (Yeah, yeah)
I bruise easily
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah (I bruise easily)
Oh, yeah, oh
I bruise easily
