Bleed for You - Hidden in Plain View

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 enough, 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

And I’ll bleed for you (for you to feel this way)

So you’ll never feel this way (again)

When you’re in my arms (again)

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 all remain

In mental photographs haunting all the time

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 (away)

I would scream for you

And I’ll bleed for you (for you to feel this way)

So you’ll never feel this way (again)

When you’re in my arms (again)

I would scream for you

I will bleed for you

So put the weight on my shoulders

And the pain in my heart

Tie the knots in my stomach

And let it tear me apart

So tear me apart

Put the weight on my shoulders

And the pain in my heart

Tie the knots in my stomach

Let it tear me apart

(Tear me apart)

So tear me apart

And the silence strips me bare

And your body pins me down

I’ve never been so scared to breathe

Afraid to make a sound

But 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

If I could take your pain away

I would scream for you

And I’d bleed for you (for you to feel this way)

So you’ll never feel this way (again)

When you’re in my arms (again)

I would scream for you

I will bleed for you (pain away)

I would scream for you

I will bleed for you
