Blood on My Hands Lyrics

I don't want to be a bad person

I don't want to tell you a lie

I tried to keep you in my system

'til it hurt to open my eyes

I fall in love quick and fall out of it faster

My eyes on the ceiling, your face in the plaster

You gave me your heart and I tore it up

I've got blood on my hands, I can't wash it off

Tiptoe into bed

'cause you're fast asleep in the place where I rest my head

Waiting for me

Like it came to you so easily

Hold the clocks, stop the time, it's breaking in pieces

Your body with mine, in bed with the demons

Now I can't forget you peacefully dreaming

I still hear the silence when your heart stopped beating

'Cause I filled you up, then I bled you dry

And I gave you love and then gave you goodbye

And how can you trust after I let you down?

Yes, I let you go, but I still hear the sounds

Brushing our teeth singing Top 40 hits

Laughing in the mirror like we're little kids

There's toothpaste on the corner of your lip

And I'm kissing it

Back in my bed with my hands 'round your waist

You sit in my lap with your hands on my face

Your lips on my lips, our legs intertwined

I still feel you here, I still see the signs

But lust's an illusion and love makes you blind

Now the blood's rushing out, oh, I cut with a knife

You saw me in pictures and video screens

But that's not the person I want you to see

So I pulled out the rug and I closed the door

I told you it wasn't worth fighting anymore

Didn't know who I was, 'cause I gave it to you

Guess I couldn't be who you wanted me to.
