Lyrics
You Don’t Get to Bleed for Me
[Intro - sparse acoustic guitar]
[Verse 1 - soft, breathy]
You always look best apologizing,
eyes down, hands inside your coat.
Like if you hate yourself enough,
I’ll forget the things you broke.
You tell me I deserved much better,
like that makes leaving something kind.
You turn every door you close
into a sacrifice in your mind.
I know you’ve got your reasons.
I learned them one by one.
But reasons don’t keep me warm at night,
and sorry doesn’t make it undone.
[Pre-Chorus - restrained]
You keep making every wound
another thing about you.
[Chorus - aching, controlled]
So don’t bleed for me.
I never asked you to.
Don’t hang yourself from every word
and call the suffering proof.
You say you’re poison, you say you’re wrong,
you swear I’m better with you gone.
But you don’t get to break my heart
then tell me how to move on.
I wanted you.
Not your guilt.
Not some beautiful goodbye.
I wanted you to stay and tell the truth
without making me ask why.
[Verse 2 - fragile, bitter]
You said you’d understand if I hated you.
God, you make it sound so clean.
Like anger’s all you left behind,
like there was nothing in between.
I remember laughing in your bedroom,
your shirt hanging off my shoulder wrong.
Every stupid little promise
I believed for far too long.
Maybe I was foolish.
Maybe love makes fools of us.
I never needed you to be perfect.
I just needed you not to run.
[Pre-Chorus - quiet tension]
You keep calling yourself a monster
so no one else can name what you’ve done.
[Chorus - stronger, still controlled]
So don’t bleed for me.
I never asked you to.
Don’t carve my name into your shame
and call that loving me true.
You say you’re poison, you say you’re wrong,
you swear I’m better with you gone.
But you don’t get to make the choice
of when I stop holding on.
I wanted you.
Not your guilt.
Not some beautiful goodbye.
I wanted one night where you looked at me
and didn’t fucking hide.
[Bridge - stripped back]
If I find somebody someday
who doesn’t flinch when I get close,
who doesn’t turn love into a funeral
just so they can play the ghost,
I hope it hurts.
I hope you finally understand:
I would’ve walked through hell beside you
if you’d only held my hand.
You were so convinced
that losing you would set me free,
you never stopped to wonder
what staying meant to me.
[Final Chorus - aching, controlled intensity]
So don’t bleed for me.
Don’t make this holy now.
There’s nothing brave about disappearing
when you could’ve worked it out.
You say you loved me. Maybe you did.
Maybe that’s what hurts the most.
You loved me like a house on fire,
then left me standing in the smoke.
And I still want you.
That’s the part
I wish I knew how to deny.
But wanting you doesn’t mean I’ll spend
another year asking you why.
[Outro - soft, exhausted]
So if you go, then go.
Just don’t tell yourself
you did it all for me.
I never wanted saving.
I wanted you
to choose me.
