[Verse 1] I keep on bleedin’ all over the page You’re in the silence, you echo my name Every line trembles, afraid to be true Every word’s another wound for you You pull, and I move — the way you designed You talk, and I nod, like I’m not alive And I laugh when I’m breaking in two Guess I’m just doing what you want me to [Chorus] I keep on bleedin’ all over the page I keep on hearin’ the sound of your name I keep on screamin’ but nothing will change I’m just a puppet — I do what you say You pull the strings in your quiet way My body obeys, my mind decays My strings are too tight, just how you like [Verse 2] You stitched your words beneath my skin Now every thought sounds like you again You made me small, you made me stay You made my love your marionette play [Pre-Chorus] And when you’re gone, I still feel the weight Of hands that tell me how to break [Chorus] I keep on bleedin’ all over the page I keep on hearin’ the sound of your name I keep on screamin’ but nothing will change I’m just a puppet — I do what you say You pull the strings till I fade away My voice is yours, my will erased My strings are too tight, just how you like [Bridge] You said, “This is love, don’t move too much.” But love shouldn’t hurt to touch I’m tangled in what’s left of me And you — you’re still pulling softly [Outro] If I cut them, would I fall? Or would I finally feel at all? I keep on bleedin’… All over the page.
