Bleed For You

  • The cold concrete cuts against her back
    And her spirit spills with blood onto the pavement
    Hands tied so tight behind her neck
    And a silence falls, and everything changes
    And everything dies, to you nothing's alive, to you anymore
    I guess you've gotten more than you might have wanted

    If I could take your pain away
    I would scream for you
    I would bleed for you
    So you'll never feel this way
    Again when you're in my arms
    I would scream for you
    I will bleed for you

    She drowns herself until the images erase
    But the skin is bruised all along her thighs
    Nightmares repeat refrain the memories remain
    In mental photographs haunting all the time so
    She shuts her eyes, to you she tries to hide
    From you, she falls asleep into dreams where she is safe

    If I could take your pain away
    I would scream for you
    And I'll bleed for you
    So you'll never feel this way
    Again when you're in my arms
    I would scream for you
    I will bleed for you

    Put the weight on my shoulders
    And the pain in my heart
    Tie the knots in my stomach and you'll let it tear me apart.
    So tear me apart.
    So I could be everything you need

    And this silence strips me bare,
    and your body pins me down.
    I've never been so scared to breathe,
    afraid to make a sound.
    And all I know is you'll never let me go..
    Just kick and scream, bite and bleed,
    and make believe it's all a dream. Publisher: SOUL SHIFT MUSIC
