You Laughed at My Blood

Verse 1

I showed you a side I don’t let breathe

Pulled it out slow, put it at your feet

Ain’t no crowd ever seen that man

Ain’t no woman ever held that hand

You smiled wide like I told a joke

Like my truth was somethin’ you could poke

I bled real hard, you laughed real loud

That’s when I learned who you are now

(low, nasty guitar—bent note, let it hang)

Pre-Chorus

That wasn’t weakness, that was trust

You don’t mock what a man bleeds up

I should’ve known by the look in your eyes

You don’t take pain serious unless it’s mine

Chorus

I cracked my chest and showed you hell

You laughed like it rang a bell

I gave you scars I never share

You turned ‘em into somethin’ light, didn’t care

That wasn’t love, that was theft

You stole my truth, gave me stress

Don’t ask me why I shut you out

You laughed at my blood when it poured out

Verse 2

I held it in ‘til it changed my shape

Silence carved me into somethin’ gray

You said I got cold, said I pulled away

Like you didn’t freeze me that way

Now you want talk, now you want “real”

Now you mad I don’t feel like kneelin’

Funny how trust gets called “pride”

When you’re locked outside

(short outlaw turnaround riff)

Pre-Chorus

You don’t get truth just ‘cause you ask

You earn that right, you don’t laugh

At a man who finally drops his guard

Then wonder why the door stays barred

Chorus

I cracked my chest and showed you hell

You laughed like it rang a bell

I gave you pain I don’t survive

Without carryin’ it every night

That wasn’t love, that was theft

You made my hurt a punchline mess

Don’t ask me why I shut you out

You laughed at my blood when it poured out

Bridge (Half-Time – Dark, Threatening)

I ain’t angry, I’m awake

There’s a difference you can’t fake

You don’t get to know that man

The one who shakes when he opens his hands

I learned real slow, but I learned for good

Some folks don’t know sacred from misunderstood

You want my heart? Too late now

You already showed me how

(DIRTY SOLO — less notes, more hate)

Last Chorus (Bigger, Meaner)

I tore myself open, let you see

What no one else gets outta me

You laughed it off, made it small

Like my pain don’t matter at all

That ain’t love, that’s disgrace

That’s spittin’ truth back in my face

So don’t come cryin’ when I shut you out

You laughed at my blood when it poured out

Outro (Spoken / Sung Low)

I don’t hide ‘cause I’m weak

I hide ‘cause I learned who don’t deserve to see

What lives under my skin

You had it once…

You won’t again
