Blood Running Down

He punches the mirror
and watches as it shatters
pieces lay allover the floor scattered
he thinks of her as he heads for the door

cuz all the anger
it builds up inside
how he feels
he can no longer hide
as he watches
the blood running down
he just wants her to know
that he cant take it anymore

her reflection stares back
her hands ready to attack
her leg shaved and smooth
she takes the razor and begins hacking away
she thinks of him as the memory plays

cuz all the anger
it builds up inside
how she feels
she can no longer hide
as she watches
the blood running down
she just wants him to know
that she cant take it anymore

he watches as she turns and walks away
he stares as she slowly fades
the words she whispered rewind in his head
how could their relationship be dead
he punches the locker as his eyes turn red

cuz all the anger
it builds up inside
how he feels
he can no longer hide
as he watches
the blood running down
he just wants her to know
that he cant take it anymore

i remember when you loved me
and i was all you wanted
i remember how you left me
cuz i wasnt all you needed
i still love you, yet you hate me
but nothing could set me free
still tortured by your memory

cuz all this anger
it builds up inside
how i feel i can no longer hide
as i watch
the blood running down
i just want you to know
ooh i want you to know

that i cant take it
yeah i cant take it
i cant take it anymore!!!

Very very powerful, yet I think you are alive too much to let anything stop you from living. Verse is a great outlet. Now let go! Light & Love Debbie
