(Verse 1)
I’m tracing the outlines of where you used to lay
The silence is a debt that I can’t seem to pay
I’m keeping the lights on, just in case you lose your way
But the shadows keep growing in this house of yesterday
I’d pull the stars down and line them on your street
Just to light a path back to the heart you left beat
I’m a vessel that’s leaking, a ship lost at sea
And I’m drowning in the ghost of who you used to be.
(Chorus)
I would bleed for you, till my veins run dry
I’d carry the weight of every tear you’ll ever cry
I’m standing in the fire, but I don’t feel the burn
Just waiting for a lesson I know I’ll never learn
Take the best of me, take the rest of me too
If it keeps you whole, I’m happy to bleed for you.
(Verse 2)
The ink on the pages of the letters I never sent
Is a record of the love and the time that we spent
Now I’m stitching the pieces of a life torn apart
With the jagged red edges of a fractured heart
You’re the oxygen I’m missing, the air I can’t find
A beautiful fever at the back of my mind
I’d give up my rhythm to hear yours again
I’d live in the hollow, I’d live in the rain.
(Bridge)
It’s a beautiful kind of torture, a sweet kind of hell
To love you this much and to wish you so well
While I’m falling to pieces, while I’m hitting the floor
I’m reaching for the handle of a locked-up door
Give me the hurt, give me the blame
Just don’t let me forget the sound of your name.
(Chorus)
I would bleed for you, till my veins run dry
I’d carry the weight of every tear you’ll ever cry
I’m standing in the fire, but I don’t feel the burn
Just waiting for a lesson I know I’ll never learn
Take the best of me, take the rest of me too
If it keeps you whole, I’m happy to bleed for you.
(Outro)
Every drop, every beat
Till the sacrifice is complete
I’m still right here...
I'd bleed for you.
