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
Everything dies, to you nothing's alive, to you anymore
I guess you've gotten more than you may have wanted
If I could take your pain away (pain away)
I would scream for you
And I'll bleed for you (for you 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 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 (pain away)
I would scream for you
And I'll bleed for you (for you 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 I could be everything you need
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
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.
But all I know (is you'll never let me go...)
Kick and scream, and bite, and bleed,
and make believe it's all a dream.
If I could take your pain away (...go)
I would scream for you
And I'll bleed for you (for you 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
(Pain away)
I will bleed for you
