Bleeding Out

Bleeding Out

You’ve been way too quiet,
Maybe it’s just my reflection.
I shouldn’t fear you’d never miss me,
But maybe that’s just my reaction.
As my paranoia grows
And my bones, they start to show,
You behold nothing at all
And leave me broken in the cold.

The peace in your discomfort,
I can’t deny it might mean something.
Another song over your head,
And it all amounts to nothing.
I still dream that we are lost,
Deep in the darkness of your heart.
We could never have enough,
Falling apart and making love.

CHORUS:
Why am I still bleeding out?
Why am I still bleeding out?
Why am I holding on to everything that I have never had?
Why am I still bleeding out?

The daylight brings the truth,
Jealousy is my reminder.
I want to scream, I want to shake you.
We need to speak before they drown us.
When the night leaves me alone
And the walls between us grow,
I weep in your disregard.
How did I fall so f*****g hard?

CHORUS

Are you looking to breathe again?
Are you searching for something real?
I don’t care for the way this all ends;
All I want is the way you feel.
So drawn out,
Are you too far gone?

We’ve been way too quiet;
No words can save us now.
Come away and I will show you,
Show you why I still bleed out.

CHORUS
