a river of blood flows through me
coloured a deep crimson red
but all the red turns blue
after the things you said

you know just what to say
to turn this red river blue
you leave me shaking
not knowing what to do

you're the reason i'm afraid
but this river runs between us
it's keeping us apart
watching love turn to rust

i miss the days
where you held me tight
you always told me
everything would be alright

i was naive to think
you really loved me
when all you did
was introduce the pain i see

so into this river i throw
reminders of what you said
i throw them into the water
hoping to turn this blue river red.
