Bruises and Stains

歌詞

You never know a good thing till it passes Till it lights you up and leaves you in its ashes It's always hiding money underneath the mattress for a rainy day And I wish that I could find a way to slow down Help the kid I used to know maybe find his way back out All the callous of the world has dragged his soul down, but who's to blame? I wanna sing all the words of a sinner I wanna live by the words of a saint Give all my love to the world like my mother Finding the pleasure in the pain I want the devil to yell on my shoulder I want the angel to call him insane I wanna look at myself in the mirror Proud of my bruises and my stains And I'm trying to make friends with all the anger So I go outside 'cause maybe I could walk off all the hurt You know pale skin always tan after a sunburn So life is good I wanna sing all the words of a sinner I wanna live by the words of a saint Give all my love to the world like my mother Finding the pleasure in the pain I want the devil to yell on my shoulder I want the angel to call him insane I wanna look at myself in the mirror Proud of my bruises and my stains Mmm, oh Proud of my bruises and my stains, oh Maybe I'm not, not what you want me to be Maybe there's more to the story that you'll never see I'll never run with the sinners, and I'm no saint I gotta learn how to live with my bruises and stains Oh, I gotta learn how to live with my bruises and stains I gotta learn how to live with my bruises and stains
