Bleeding

 Living with a scar of disappointment

and lies is the only ointment 

to heal it

Lie to me and tell me everything's gonna be alright

Hold me in your arms tight and tell me you'll be here forever

Say you'll never leave me and we'll always be together

then go about your business and fall into the arms of another 

yes, that's how it always goes

They come, they lust, and then they go home

My pride has even left me alone

It tells me I'm too confused and to figure it out on my own

My true feelings are ready to be shown

but I'm afraid you'll stab me in the heart 

and shatter all I've ever known

Impale me with a knife of hope

Make me vomit the words from out my throat

Dive into an ocean of regret

& try to stay afloat

While I also try to forget

that what you're telling me is lies

I'm seasick,

rockin' back and fforth trying to believe it

As I close my eyes and wish that I was back on cement

Where my feet can steadily touch the ground and the voices in my head become a distant sound

Where the land of MY lost can finally be found

and I don't have to worry about the next time you come around

Playin' games from one end

As more of these lies fill up my head

I keep rubbin' "I was with my friend" on the scar on my arm

and keep massagin "I love you" on the scar on my heart

It hurts me to see we're slowly growing apart

but the longer we stay ttogether

the deeper the scar

It's already wide open

Blood gush in' while I'm sittin' here hopin'

that you'll secure it with a band-aid or at least tell me you're jokin'

But it's like you've got too much pride

to watch me leave your side

So you keep try a lie

And I keep try a act like everything's alright

But it's not

You're ccaught and I'm done

No more scars, just remember you lost a good one.
