Hold Me or Let Me Bleed

[verse 1] You see my tears like falling rain You hear my sobs call out your name But you just stand there in the door Not coming close, not anymore [verse 2] Your love once held me like a shield Now it’s a sword you never yield You watch me break, you watch me plead You hold the cure but let me bleed [chorus] Oh, you could end this ache inside With just one word, with just one light But you let darkness swallow me You hold the key, you let me be Hold me or let me bleed [verse 3] I see you flinch when I’m in pain But still you turn away again Is loving me too much to bear Or is it power keeps you there [chorus] Oh, you could end this ache inside With just one word, with just one light But you let darkness swallow me You hold the key, you let me be Hold me or let me bleed [bridge] Love’s supposed to be my home But you leave me in the cold Your hands could lift me from the floor But mercy’s not what you came for [chorus] Oh, you could end this ache inside With just one word, with just one light But you let darkness swallow me You hold the key, you let me be Hold me or let me bleed [outro] You hold the cure but let me bleed You hold the cure but let me bleed
