[Verse 1] I keep a bandage in the pocket of my coat For every little cut I never let you know The last one barely closed before the next one came Now even gentle hands can make me flinch the same [Pre-Chorus] I start to say, “Can you stay?” Then swallow every word away [Chorus] I’m bleeding out in places no one sees Still trying to stand while the hurt runs deep I reach for you, then pull my hands inside I can’t take another wound tonight I’m lonely, but I’m scared of what you’ll do So I shut the door before I make it through [Verse 2] The room is full of all the things I couldn’t say Your number on my screen, then I erase the day I learned to wear a smile that doesn’t fit my face And call it being fine when I’m just holding place [Pre-Chorus] I start to say, “Can you stay?” Then fear turns every word away [Chorus] I’m bleeding out in places no one sees Still trying to stand while the hurt runs deep I reach for you, then pull my hands inside I can’t take another wound tonight I’m lonely, but I’m scared of what you’ll do So I shut the door before I make it through [Bridge] If I let you close, will you leave a mark? If I tell the truth, will you break my heart? I’m tired of surviving every little touch I need someone near, but I fear it too much [Final Chorus] I’m bleeding out in places no one sees Still trying to stand while the hurt runs deep I reach for you, then pull my hands inside I can’t take another wound tonight I’m lonely, but I’m scared of what you’ll do Please don’t make me wish I never trusted you [Outro] I keep the bandage in the pocket of my coat And hope tomorrow lets the edges close
