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
