Verse 1

The cold concrete

cuts against her back

 And her spirit spills with

blood on to the pavement

Hands tied so tight

behind your 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

Chorus

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

Verse 2

She drowns herself until

the images erase

But the skin is bruised

all along her thighs

Nightmares repeat refrain

the memories remain

The mental photographs

haunting all the time

 She shuts her eyes to you

She tries to hide from you

 She falls asleep into

dreams where she is safe

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

 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

Put the weight

 on my shoulders

 And the pain in my heart

 Tie the knots in my stomach

 Let it tear me apart

 So tear me apart

You say you are

Verse 3

And this silence strips me bare

 And the body pins me down

Ive never been so scared to breathe

 Afraid to make a sound

 But all I know

Kick and scream and bite and bleed

and make believe it's all a dream

(Repeat Chorus)

Outro

Pain away

 I won't scream for you

 I will bleed for you

Pain away

 I will bleed for you
