What Do You Want the Blood In My Veins

In the beginning I learned to give you love It was heaven to me a gift from above I gave you enough of me to only survive But you needed more to really come alive Every time I see you It always rains What do you want the blood in my veins My broken heart has left me great pains What do you want the blood in my veins I gave you everything and my soul strains What do you want the blood in my veins You took everything and nothing remains What do you want the blood in my veins Over time my giving made you shrug You were addicted to me like a drug It wasn't enough for you to care So I gave you more but I didn't compare Every time I see you It always rains What do you want the blood in my veins My broken heart has left me great pains What do you want the blood in my veins I gave you everything and my soul strains What do you want the blood in my veins You took everything and nothing remains What do you want the blood in my veins I gave you the very essence of my life But it wasn't enough and caused you strife I gave you the last of me with one final pour Even though you were full you still wanted more Every time I see you It always rains What do you want the blood in my veins My broken heart leaves me great pains What do you want the blood in my veins I gave you everything and my soul strains What do you want the blood in my veins You took everything and nothing remains What did you get the very blood in my veins
