The cold concrete cuts against her back

 And her spirit spills with blood onto the pavement

 Hands tied so tight behind her neck

 And a silence falls, and everything changes

 Everything dies, to you nothing's alive, to you anymore

 I guess you've gotten more than you may have wanted

 

If I could take your pain away (pain away)

 I would scream for you

 And I'll bleed for you (for you feel this way)

 So you’ll never feel this way (again)

 When you’re in my arms (again)

 I would scream for you

 I will bleed for you

 

She drowns herself until the images erase

 But the skin is bruised all along her thighs

 Nightmares repeat refrain the memories remain*

 In mental photographs haunting all the time

 So she shuts her eyes, to you she tries to hide

 From you, she falls asleep into dreams where she is safe

 

If I could take your pain away (pain away)

 I would scream for you

 And I'll bleed for you (for you feel this way)

 So you'll never feel this way (again)

 When you're in my arms (again)

 I would scream for you

 I will bleed for you

 

So put the weight on my shoulders

 And the pain in my heart

 Tie the knots in my stomach 

and let it tear me apart.

 So I could be everything you need

 

So put the weight on my shoulders

 And the pain in my heart

 Tie the knots in my stomach 

and let it tear me apart.

 So tear me apart

 

And this silence strips me bare, 

and your body pins me down.

 I've never been so scared to breathe, 

afraid to make a sound.

 But all I know (is you'll never let me go...)

 Kick and scream, and bite, and bleed, 

and make believe it's all a dream.

 

If I could take your pain away (...go)

 I would scream for you

 And I'll bleed for you (for you feel this way)

 So you'll never feel this way (again)

 When you're in my arms (again)

 I would scream for you

 I will bleed for you

 

(Pain away) I would scream for you

 I will bleed for you

 (Pain away)

 I will bleed for you
