This Is Where I Bleed

(C) E. Edwards, February 2015

This Is Where I Bleed

 

The lightest I have felt in a long time,

The closest I've ever been in the sunlight.

On this road to nowhere, I had to meet you.

Now I think I know what I'm looking for.

The voices are calling to pull me away,

And I’m here pretending they don’t mean a thing.

When all's forbidden, I follow it through.

And I know you see my exposure.

 

So open, don't break me open.

I don't want the way you live,

All I want is you.

This is how I follow,

This is the home I choose.

 

CHORUS:

And here,

This is where I bleed.

And here,

This is where I bleed.

 

Saw you again in a much better light.

Nothing holds me back when you're so alive.

Unwritten rules of what I should feel

Are there to be broken, are nothing real.

 

So open, don't break me open.

I don't want the way you live,

All I want is you.

This is how I follow,

This is the home I choose.

 

CHORUS

 

If my ignorance was bliss,

This would be so easy.

Within all my hopelessness,

If I only found some peace.

I’m too helpless to let it go.

 

I don't want the way you live,

All I want is you.

This is how I follow,

This is the home I choose.
