Verse 1

The cold concrete

cuts against her back

And her spirit spills with

blood on to the pavement

Hands tied so tight

behind your 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

Chorus

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

Verse 2

She drowns herself until

the images erase

But the skin is bruised

all along her thighs

Nightmares repeat refrain

the memories remain

The mental photographs

haunting all the time

She shuts her eyes to you

She tries to hide from you

She falls asleep into

dreams where she is safe

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

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

Put the weight

on my shoulders

And the pain in my heart

Tie the knots in my stomach

Let it tear me apart

So tear me apart

You say you are

Verse 3

And this silence strips me bare

And the body pins me down

Ive never been so scared to breathe

Afraid to make a sound

But all I know

Kick and scream and bite and bleed

and make believe it's all a dream

(Repeat Chorus)

Outro

Pain away

I won't scream for you

I will bleed for you

Pain away

I will bleed for you
