Bleeds more

I still remember every word, every look, every scene

Now we’re strangers in the same story, somewhere in between

And I know there’s hurt that’s standing where we used to be

But there’s two sides to every silence, two hearts trying to see

I’ve replayed the conversations a thousand times alone

Searching for the moments where we both felt unknown

Maybe we got lost inside the things we couldn’t say

Maybe all the distance grew from fear along the way

I don’t need forever tonight

I don’t need us to make it right

I just wish you’d sit with me face to face

So we could finally clear the rain away

Cut my skin but my heart bleeds more

Every day you’re further than the day before

I don’t want to fight, I don’t want a war

I just want a chance to open that door

Let the truth fall where it belongs

Talk about the rights and wrongs

Maybe start again like we did before

’Cause cut my skin but my heart bleeds more

I don’t need the ending written in the stars tonight

I just miss the way your presence made the world feel right

Maybe we begin with friendship, take it day by day

And if love finds us again someday, I’ll welcome it that way

‘Cause feelings never vanished, they just learned to wait

Holding onto hope while respecting fate

And even if the answer isn’t what I’m dreaming of

I’d rather hear the truth than lose what’s left of us

I don’t need forever tonight

I don’t need us to make it right

I just wish you’d sit with me face to face

So we could finally clear the rain away

Cut my skin but my heart bleeds more

Every day you’re further than the day before

I don’t want to fight, I don’t want a war

I just want a chance to open that door

Let the truth fall where it belongs

Talk about the rights and wrongs

Maybe start again like we did before

’Cause cut my skin but my heart bleeds more

If we never talk, these questions never sleep

And the words we never say become the wounds we keep

So if there’s still a road between your heart and mine

I’ll walk it one step at a time

Not asking for a promise

Not asking for your hand

Just asking for a moment

To finally understand

Cut my skin but my heart bleeds more

Still holding onto what we’re fighting for

Maybe as friends, maybe something more

Like the way we used to dream before

If tomorrow gives us one more chance

I’ll meet your eyes and take that dance

And maybe we’ll find what we’ve been looking for

’Cause cut my skin but my heart bleeds more

So I’ll wait for the day we finally speak

When understanding finds the words we couldn’t keep

And whether it’s friendship or love restored

You should know my heart still beats yours.
