Until We Bleed

I'm naked I'm numb I'm stupid I'm staying This isn't love. You use me. When you get home from the club or wherever you've been late at night, You're clumsy with your hands. Clothing seems too hard to get off. And if Cupid's got a gun Then he's shooting But I can't leave. No matter what happens, it's too painful to go. Lights black Heads bang You're my drug We live it We're too uncomfortable with the lights on. I don't want to see your face- Slurred, clueless. Angry. You don't want to see mine- Helpless, confused. Depressed. You're drunk You need it Real love, I'll give it Everything is hazy to you. I bet you can't feel. But I'll love you anyways. I always have. So we're bound to linger on We drink the fatal drop And love until we bleed Then fall apart in parts This has gone on forever, to me. I'll try to be like you, To see what it feels like. I drink the last bottle of vodka And hold onto you. You've wasted your times On my heart, you've burned And if bridges gotta fall Then you'll fall, too Maybe this is the part of life That people told me about It doesn't mean anything It hurts you. You grow so attached that when one piece collapses You do too. Doors slam Lights black You're gone Come back You leave when the ordeal is over Because you couldn't really care less when you're sober You don't have a reason anymore Stay gone Stay clean I need you To need me I want you to be happy To be the way you were before. But I think without you, Even though I only see you late at night, I would be destroyed. So we're bound to linger on We drink the fatal drop Then love until we bleed Then fall apart in parts I'm getting up to leave The keys are for you Now we're bound to linger on We drink the fatal drop Then love until we bleed Then fall apart in parts But I'll come back soon I'll come back
