You scarred my heart
and now it stains your hands
smiling with your lips closed
to hide the blood staining your teeth

You lied about me
like what we had never happened
hiding the stains on your skin
from all the marks you gave me

The longer it goes on
the less you can hide from
tripping over your words
and we both know your alibi is falling apart

You can't smile forever
while hiding the blood on your teeth
the marks won't fade
because you can't wash me away

You broke me and left
like I was nothing
and now my blood stains
and you can't hide it

You tried to fix it
like your hands were still clean
but forgetting is not the same
as forgiving

You can't hide from what you've done
because I know
and you'll never be able to just
wash away the blood on your hands

Every mistake you made
stains your skin
and some day
you won't be able to hide anymore

So I'll leave quietly
polite and with my head bowed
but I'll never kneel to you again
because I know the red you hide

You smile with your lips closed
but one day they'll see
the blood you hide
and you can't drag me down with you
Stained by Linkin Park has me in a chokehold so I wrote this
