///*****/// [Intro] One low note held And a room with the curtains closed [Verse 1] You do not have to say a word I already know the sound Of the way you hold your coffee When your world is coming down There is a tremor in your shoulder There is a country in your eyes And I have learned the whole geography Of everything you hide And you think you are a burden And you think you are too much And you are the only thing I ever Wanted in my hands [Pre-Chorus] So do not apologise to me For breaking in the night I did not come here for the easy I came here for the fight [Chorus] I would bleed for you And I would not call it losing I would stand out in the open While the whole damn sky is bruising Take whatever you have got And put it here upon my chest I would bleed for you And I would call it the very best I would bleed for you [Verse 2] There were people who came before me Who ran out when it got real Who liked you when you were laughing And they left when you could feel And I know what that has cost you And I know the way you flinch When a man says he is staying Because they all say that at first So I am not going to tell you I am going to let you watch Every February morning Every ordinary loss [Pre-Chorus] Because promises are easy And they cost a man a breath It is the Tuesday and the Thursday That is the actual test [Chorus] I would bleed for you And I would not call it losing I would stand out in the open While the whole damn sky is bruising Take whatever you have got And put it here upon my chest I would bleed for you And I would call it the very best I would bleed for you [Verse 3] There will come a night I fail you There will come a night I am small And I will say a stupid thing And I will not hear you call And I am telling you it now So that you know that it is coming And it will not be the ending It will just be me being human And I will come back to the doorway And I will say it out again Every time and every winter Until the very end [Pre-Chorus] So put it down, whatever holds you Put it down here on the floor There is a man who is not leaving And who has not left before [Bridge] Love is not a lightning strike It is a bricklayer's trade It is showing up at seven With your hands already frayed And it is the most heroic thing That a person ever made [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] So I would bleed for you And I would not call it losing I will stand out in the open While the whole damn sky is bruising Take whatever you have got And put it here upon my chest I would bleed for you I would bleed for you I would bleed for you [Coda] And if you cannot say it back Then do not say it yet I have got years of this in me And I am nowhere near the end Just sit here on the sofa And let the evening come And let somebody love you Till the loving is not strange [Outro] One low note held And the curtains going gold And a hand inside a hand And nobody let go
