You would rather see me cry than come
The tears in my eyes are the life in your lungs
And I still cry for you
Cause I just want your love
Even though you toss me away when you're done

You would rather see me cry than come
The tears in my eyes are the life in your lungs
And I still cry for you
Cause I just want your love
Even though you toss me away when you're done

Why do I bleed for you
On knees you bruised
Somehow I see the life in you
I know someone hurt you too but that's no excuse
That's no excuse

I knew you were poison but I drank you
Somehow I thought that I'd be immune
I've brought gods to their knees, I thought I could change you
But the signs on the bottle turned out to be true

You would rather see me cry than come
The tears in my eyes are the life in your lungs
And I still cry for you
Cause I just want your love
Even though you toss me away when you're done

You would rather see me cry than come
The tears in my eyes are the life in your lungs
And I still cry for you
Cause I just want your love
Even though you toss me away when you're done

My body's tired from everything
My jaw is sore it hurts to talk
My soul is tired from begging you to see me as a human at all
I knew you were poison but I drank you

I really thought that I'd be immune
I've brought men to their knees, I thought I could change you
But the signs on the bottle turned out to be true
Why did I bleed for you

On knees you bruised
Somehow I saw the life in you
Everything is better without you
I am so much better without you

You would rather have me cry than come
The tears in my eyes were the life in your lungs
I would still cry for you
If I wanted your love
But my bruises have healed and I hate you now

You would rather have me cry than come
The tears in my eyes were the life in your lungs
I would still cry for you
If I wanted your love
But my bruises have healed and I'm so much better off on my own
