Bleed

The real you just dissipated, evaporared into the smoke. I didn't know what you'd created; an iron noose, for me to choke. I just collected the tears, soon became all of my fears. You were what I needed most, didn't realise you're a ghost. Now I am cut, lost to my arteries. I am cut, sliced by the misery. I am cut, you're what I need so I just let it bleed. I gave all of me to you but you became a different man. These lips are turning blue, I'll use volume while I can. How could you watch it all? Stand back and let me fall? I thought you were my friend, turns out you're just my end. Now I am cut, left in the cold rain. Now I am cut, nothing but icy pain. I am cut, you're what I need so I just let it bleed. Do you remember, sweetheart, how I gave you my life? Do you remember, baby, how you held the knife? You slammed the door shut and closed your eyes while you cut but you're still what I need so I still just let it bleed.
