Blood

Let in the rain

And the pain

And the mentally insane!

Too vain to recognise pain?

Open a vain so you can see me bled?

Lose the thread?

Simply forget?

Crawl back into bed?

But yet…

 

You bleed my heart

You bleed my soul

You lead me on

You put me off

You lead my boat on the shoal

You give me hope

You break my heart

You take your toll

With you around i'm never in control!

 

I'm a sucker for a punch

I'm a sucker for a hunch

I'm a believer

I'm a deceiver

I'm a hopeless romantic or maybe...

just romantically hopeless

I'm afraid of loss

I'm afraid of gain

I hide the panic

I hide the pain

 

I know, you know

I know you, you know me

We've both learned how to see

There is a history there

But is there a future there

Cut your losses or make your move

How did we ever land in this groove?
