You stab me afront
in the broad daylight
and even as I bleed I whisper,
"can you please never go out of sight"

you stab me back and forth
the wounds- they bleed and dry
but I see the pain in your eyes as you do that and even if you don't want to I know,
you always try
you've been suffering for too long now
for you the stake's always been high
the victim of your own standards
honey, let out a sigh
you might go take a rest now
but beware
it's not a goodbye

never been the one for regret
always breaking the sweat
but I bet this time it's different 
the fatigue- it's getting to your head

Even though I bleed now
I know you too are vulnerable as hell
my wounds might be physical
but your scars,
they're wrapping your mind in a shell

It might seem that we'd bleed to death
it might seem that there's no way out
baby, it's okay, hold on
And as cliche it may be but
hey there's a silver lining in every cloud

Our story is far from over
I know it, there ain't no doubt
and someday when we heal our wounds
we might as well set free and cheer out loud.
