Analysis of Bleeding Heart



Sometimes we try too hard
For the things we don't deserve
We have to slip and fall
To completely lose it all
When you open your eyes
And see who you are
Look past all the lies
Get a grip and realize
Maybe its not too late
Maybe it can still be great
Sometimes we hurt so bad
Pain for the love we once had
Love that we say has gone away
Feelings that we simply betray
The wounded heart will heal with time
The scars remind me you were once mine
I cant take back the toxic days
But baby I am changing my ways
Sometimes all we need is the pain
Some time locked away with our brain
Holding onto all the memories
All the times we were enemies
The times we cried ourselves to sleep
And the secrets that we still keep
Maybe it can still be great
Maybe you can fix me
With your hate.
