tender like a bruise (acoustic demo) lyrics

[Intro/Chorus]
What was I hoping for?
Some redemption, or a cure
Some salvation, some apparition
To linger on in my kitchen

[Verse 1}
Hold the melody to my heart
Hold me tenderly as you tear me apart

[Chorus]
What was I hoping for?
Some redemption, or a cure
Some salvation, some apparition
To linger on in my kitchen

[Verse 2]
Tears in my eyes
You wipe them for me
You ???? [?]

[Chorus]
What was I hoping for?
Some redemption, or a cure
Some salvation, some apparition
To linger on in my kitchen
[Verse 3]
I'll run away
You won't see me
Leave the door open
So I can keep grieving

[Chorus]
What was I hoping for?
Some redemption, or a cure
Some salvation, some apparition
To linger on in my kitchen

[Bridge]
When I look at you
I'm tender like a bruise
Fragile like a ball
I know where I went wrong

[Outro/Chorus]
And I know what I was hoping for
Some redemption, or a cure
Some salvation, some apparition
To linger on in my kitchen
