Bite Your Lip and Bleed

If there ever was a crime
I was guilty of
It was holding back, not letting in
And shutting down
See, I've done my time of grieving
Of fighting against the inevitable
Of swimming against the stream

But now you know
That I love you
Still no words can make it so
All the pain will up and leave
But there's a light
I could hold up for you
In the darkest of the nights
To know you're not alone

Oh I know
You're a difficult beast
With battle wounds
Broken bones
And a heart that needs to heal
See I've done my share of hiding
Of destroying everything I love
Just to bite my lip and bleed

Oh, please know
That I love you
All the tenderness you showed
Was not in vain, I'll have you know
Now I'm a a leaf
In a river
And I'm scared just like you
And I bleed just like you
