cut open this heart now steal away my last real beat of hope and forget what has happened remind me of living and the lack of blood that has brought me to my knees withholding your mirrors down and stare hold on to my reflection now watch it bleed right through your hands now lie look me in my eyes and tell me i m living now slowly one by one the leaves began to bury my head you ve realized this one thing as you watch me fade it begins to slip right beneath your hands as you ve realized this one thing we begin to watch it bleed right through our hands this will bleed through your hands hold this wound and pray for the strength to let me float away for what lies ahead is hope this will take my all your eyes they tell me as i drift away
