  • Close my eyes
    Feel you sigh
    A desperate aching wonder
    Will you ever, ever let me off my knees

    Wide awake
    Like a dream
    As simple as a secret
    Being told, told to everyone but me

    Will I
    Bleed out
    I gave it all
    But you can't stop taking from me
    And way down I know
    You know where to cut me
    With your eyes closed
    Bleed out
    It won't be long
    Til this heart stops beating
    So don't let me
    Bleed out here alone
    Hear my plea
    You won't hear my plea

    Sudden rain
    Coming down
    It all comes back to me
    Waking up, falling down

    Another day
    Come undone
    I keep trying to heal your pain
    In return, you cut me over and over
    One more time and I will

    Bleed out
    I gave it all
    But you can't stop taking from me
    And way down I know
    You know where to cut me
    With your eyes closed
    Bleed out
    It won't be long
    Til my heart stops beating
    So don't let me
    Bleed alone

    I finally feel like I'm supposed to be, yeah, oh
    Don't you take this moment away from me
    But before you kill me wont you
    Wont you look back in my eyes and watch me

    Bleed out
    I gave it all
    But you can't stop taking from me
    And way down I know
    You know where to cut me
    With your eyes closed
    Bleed out
    It won't be long
    Til my heart stops beating
    So don't leave me don't let me
    Bleed out here alone
    Hear my plea

    Bleed out
    I gave it all
    But you can't stop taking from me
    And way down I know
    You know where to cut me
    With your eyes closed
    Bleed out
    It won't be long
    Til this heart stops beating
    So don't leave me don't let me
