Bleeding Love

I. You saw her from afar
She saw you too, but it was never the same
You envied her strength
Her kept promises
She could make you better
She could be your cure
Your new drug
And you liked that
You see her watching
And wonder if she's noticed
Those frequent breaks to the bathroom
Sooner or later she would understand
What was going on behind those closed doors
You had made it all too obvious
You hung out with those people
And turned to them when in need
For that one thing that would make you better

II. You saw him from afar
But he could never to you
Nobody knew how it was to be you
Sadness overwhelming every second of your life
You did have that temporary relief
And even you knew it wouldn't be enough
That feeling to last forever
You would give up everything
Flowing, wandering and breathing to every part of you
That would keep you satisfied
You would be stable
Those trips to the bathroom wouldn't be so frequent
And you never realized that he caught on to you
As he hoped you wouldn't either
But you did
You noticed

I. It crushed you even more to know this
Hadn't she kept you going
Kept you from overdosing
You go to her the next chance you can
At your sight she knows what is coming
And backs away

II. You don't know why but you do
He's as weak as you are
He needs a hand to hold
You retreat into your haven and for him
You promise this time it will only be
One simple prick

I. She doesn't realize you staring at her dripping sleeve
They drip to the ground as she walks away
You see she needs saving, more than you thought you did

II. You get home crying
'He must have seen' you think after throwing your ruined shirt away
You need a first aid kit to keep you from drowning in your sorrow

I. Although it was hard to resist that tempting snort
You come right on time
She's huddled in the corner

II. With the blade over your wrist
Veins pulsing
Tempting you to feel the slice
The release of the icy winds as liquid overflows

I. You watch her waiting for the right moment
To be her hero
And save her from the misery

II. There's a knock on the door as it swings open
You a burning fire waiting to be extinguished

I. You realize she's even more feeble than before
The look on her face as you enter makes you wish you had taken a dose

II. You drop the knife
And begin to cry in his arms

I. As she weeps you realize that you're bleeding
The pain intensifies but you understand

II. You've cut him open

I. Holding her in your arms

II. She's bleeding for you

I. With your love
