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
