🕯️ “Daylight Bruise” 
A confession whispered in morning light.
“Daylight Bruise” is the postscript to a love that lingered too long —
a tender, unflinching soul ballad about self-betrayal, memory,
and the slow ache of letting go in full view of the sun.

No fireworks. No final kiss.
Just a woman, a mirror, and the silence after the fall.

☁️ Genre: Minimalist Soul / Acoustic Noir
✨ Vibe: Morning after the storm

Daylight Bruise


[Verse 1]
Sunlight's a bully through the windowpane,
Coffee’s bitter and it tastes like shame.
The mirror don’t lie, but she don’t forgive —
Shows every line I said I’d never relive.

[Chorus]
And oh, this daylight bruise, it’s a quiet thing,
Don’t scream like regret, just a slow, cold sting.
A shadow stretched from last night's sin,
Not your hand — my own — that let you in.

[Verse 2]
Your voice still echoes in the empty glass,
Lipstick smeared like a faded past.
Sheets still warm where no one lies,
I kissed the ghost and called it wise.

[Chorus 2]
And oh, this daylight bruise, it lingers low,
Not fire, not frost — just a truth I know.
A hurt that hums beneath the skin,
Not your goodbye — my yes to you again.

[Bridge] (fragile, exposed)
I can’t hate you for the part you played —
I wrote the scene and begged you to stay.
Some sins come dressed in silk and smoke,
But it’s the morning that leaves me broke.

[Final Chorus]
This daylight bruise, it don’t fade fast,
A love like ours was built to last…
But only in the dark, in rooms untrue —
Where I pretend… I’m not the bruise too.

[Outro]
A single, broken chord.
No fade out.
Just release.
