[Intro]
Teeth on the glass
Heart in a vice
Smile for the ghosts
Who cut out my light (yeah)
[Verse 1]
I wake up on the floor, still sayin’ I’m fine
Stitch my cuts with your name like it’s part of my spine
You left town, left me here with the bills and the blame
Now I drown my demons just to toast your new name
Every shot is a shovel, diggin’ under my skin
Every pill is a promise I ain’t lettin’ you win
But I still wear that grin like a funeral suit
I’m the joke, I’m the host, I’m the hangin’ fruit
[Pre-Chorus]
You got your sunshine, I got your storm
You got your new life, I stay deformed
I keep your pictures in a drawer like chains
Prayin’ that the rust might drink my veins
[Chorus]
I bleed for you
’Til my veins run dry, ’til my lungs turn blue
I break myself
Just to build your throne out of what I’ve been through
If misery’s the price to keep you smilin’ like you do
Then I’ll burn, I’ll break, I’ll bruise
I bleed for you (for you, for you)
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I’m racin’ with the reaper in a rust-bent car
Got the pedal on panic, try to outrun the scars
Every night I’m in the mirror tryna claw off your face
But you’re tattooed to the tremor in my everyday
You’re laughin’ in some bar, I’m laughin’ at my fate
Turn my ribs to a cage for the hatred and shame
I’m the punchline puppet for the hurt you chose
Got a throat full of glass every time I pose
[Pre-Chorus]
You got your calm seas, I got your flood
You got forgiveness, I choke on the mud
I keep your letters in my lungs like smoke
So every breath I take’s another joke
[Chorus]
I bleed for you
’Til my veins run dry, ’til my lungs turn blue
I break myself
Just to build your throne out of what I’ve been through
If misery’s the price to keep you smilin’ like you do
Then I’ll burn, I’ll break, I’ll bruise
I bleed for you (for you, for you)
[Bridge]
I’m so sick of savin’ you in every nightmare
Tired of takin’ every cut like I don’t fight fair
Hands in the fire, just to warm your crown
I keep throwin’ up apologies you never hear out
(Yeah) I feed my demons just to keep you thin
I make myself the villain so you always win
If I disappear, would you finally see
Every scar on your joy is a piece of me? (piece of me)
[Chorus]
I bleed for you
’Til my veins run dry, ’til my lungs turn blue
I break myself
Just to build your throne out of what I’ve been through
If misery’s the price to keep you smilin’ like you do
Then I’ll burn, I’ll break, I’ll bruise
I bleed for you
[Outro]
Let it crack, let it tear, let it all cut through
If you sleep at night, then this pain’s my proof
I don’t live, I don’t move, I’ve got one last truth
Every drop on the floor spells
“I bled for you”
