5 liters of blood

I used to like him until I met you I realized all I ever felt before was pink You were Red Taught me how to rip out my own hair in anger When you wouldn't take the bins out (or listen to me) Taught me to bite my lip till I bled And in the taste of iron all the things I wanted to say Melted away All the I love you I hate you Go away Please stay I wanted you to decide Put my faith in your hands Love me or leave me Pick One I cannot swing between both ends of the spectrum The rope I am hanging onto Is tightening against my throat I will stain your carpet floor With 5 wasted liters of life I give it all to you If you can ever realize That should have been enough
