Tourniquet

(1st Verse)
The veins are sealed

Protectin’ my heart from somethin’ dangerous

The scars have healed

And now I wanna take a chance on us

So believe the words

Flowing like a fountain from my lips

I’m a stronger girl

And I know I’m ready for this

 

(2nd Verse)

I wanna bleed,

I wanna see,

Just how perfect we can be …

Let it flow,

I wanna know,

Just how far we can make this go …

 

(Chorus)
Emptiness is like a tourniquet

But love lets the blood

Take over and control your brain

Loneliness is like a tourniquet

But you let the blood

Flow right on through my veins

‘Cause your love doesn’t constrict me

Your love releases me so I can be free

Your love releases the tourniquet (tourniquet)

(3rd Verse)

The arteries leading to my heart

You’re cutting the way to find the blockage

I just wanna bleed in your arms

Look into my eyes and kiss me as I hemorrhage

Mysteries lay unsolved

So many hidden secrets and stories

But in my heart I know

The love we have will last eternity

 

(4th Verse)

I wanna bleed,

I wanna see,

Just how perfect we can be …

Let it flow,

I wanna know,

Just how far we can make this go …

(Chorus)

Emptiness is like a tourniquet

But love lets the blood

Take over and control your brain

Loneliness is like a tourniquet

But you let the blood

Flow right on through my veins

‘Cause your love doesn’t constrict me

Your love releases me so I can be free

Your love releases the tourniquet (tourniquet) 

(Bridge)

Your love releases the tourniquet (tourniquet)

Your love releases me (the tourniquet)

Your love releases the tourniquet (tourniquet)

Your love releases me (the tourniquet)

Your love releases the tourniquet (tourniquet)

 

(Chorus x 2)

Emptiness is like a tourniquet

But love lets the blood

Take over and control your brain

Loneliness is like a tourniquet

But you let the blood

Flow right on through my veins

‘Cause your love doesn’t constrict me

Your love releases me so I can be free

Your love releases the tourniquet (tourniquet)
