So Watch Me Bleed

VERSE 1

You couldn't understand

What I needed

Not for you to hold my hand

But for you to stop the bleeding

No, I didn't tell you what

What was wrong

But you should have seen the wounds

My life was nearly gone

CHORUS:

So watch me bleed

No, don't try to help me up

So watch me bleed

Why don't you tell me to shut up

My wounds are draining

My life away

I thought you were my friend

Here to stay

So watch me bleed

You have betrayed me

So watch me bleed

Don't try to help me

So watch me bleed.

VERSE 2

You could see it all along

But your eyes were closed

Did you think I was too far gone?

Was it your heart was frozen?

You couldn't see with eyes

That were unshod

That my smile was a disguise

That my life I really hated?

CHORUS X2

You didn't help me

Or did you not see?

Did you cover your eyes

Did you not believe?

CHORUS X2
