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
