Tears of Blood

The salty tears had come like a flood But now I only cry tears of blood The buckets worth, gallons and gallons Like my eyes and heart were cut with razor sharp talons I'll hand you back each bucket I'll tell you, you can suck it You better not come running back to me Because I'll probably just slap you in the face, you'll see I'll give you back everything, every ounce of love Because I feel like it's raining these tears of blood I want you to feel it, feel what I felt To feel something painful on your heart, a welt Like someone's ripping out your emotions Leave yourself, feeling more raged then the oceans Was this not what you were anticipating? Was I all too suffocating? Well how am I to know if you don't give me a sign Now I feel that you have a weak spine You could have said something to me So I knew how you had wanted things to be But if you just start pulling away Then I don't know what I should say The only thing I knew to do was hold on I tried so hard, I tried to be strong But you gave me nothing, left me alone You must have a heart of stone Because my tears once came like a salty flood But now all I have, are tears of blood...
