Bleeding Kiss

In the mirror I don’t show Your name

tastes like iron (ahhhh)

You found me after last train

Under a streetlamp’s thin halo

Your hand was winter on my skin

And I said yes too soft,

too slow (ooh)

Now dawn is a debt I can’t pay My heartbeat’s hiding in

your coat If love is mercy,

let it stay Don’t turn me into just a ghost (ahhhh)

Bite me with goodbye,

my love Leave two moons on my throat I will bleed out

all my trust Just to keep you close So I pray to

the night above Teach my heart to let you go But you

drink me up, drink me up

And I wake alone

(oooh) Your apartment smells like rain And old books you never finish

You laugh like nothing ever breaks While I’m counting

every minute You kiss my pulse to make it quiet

Then disappear

before the sun (mmm)

If I could trade this cursed heart For one that doesn’t need

your teeth I’d choose the ordinary dark Over your forever sweet So

hold me like you mean the hurt Then set me down,

and set me free

(ahhhh) Bite me with goodbye,

my love Leave two moons on my throat I will bleed out

all my trust Just to keep you close So I pray to

the night above Teach my heart to let you go But you

drink me up, drink me up

And I wake alone

I wake alone (oooh)
