[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

In an interview with PopEntertainment, Natasha revealed the inspiration behind the song:
Relationships in general are very great, inspiring things. You can take whatever you want out of it. It is easier for me sometimes to write songs that are quite melancholic, like ‘I Bruise Easily.’ I see that...
