Bleed Into the Sun (wersja 2)

Verse

I woke up with a bruise on my neck where the chain hit home

Last thing I said was 'never let go' but it's gone now in the smoke

He kept asking for more of what he couldn't control

I kept telling him we're leaving, we're moving to a better place

But the door won't open by itself so I opened it with my back and his hands on me

Now my teeth ache from holding my jaw still as he yells that I'm free

Chorus

Bleed into the sun

Let it wash this away

Cut loose where the blood starts to run

I am turning daylight, I'm leaving today

He don't get to decide how I take the fall

Gonna rise up from right here at all

Bleed into the sun

Watch me go

Bleed into the sun

Verse

Copper taste on my tongue where his knuckles cut through skin

I'm bleeding out, not falling behind like he said would be done

My shoulder's black and blue but I'm already gone from this place

He keeps trying to hold onto something that don't belong to him no more

Every hit is a mile marker showing me how far we've come

Last time he struck it made his hand shake, last time my eyes locked at home

I counted every beat until the sirens rolled down the street

He thought I'd fold but what I folded was a new name and a street to meet

Pre-Chorus

What's left of him gonna fit in a box small enough for me to carry?

Who needs forgiveness when you can just watch it walk away?

This is not an exit, this is the entrance to the sun

He don't get a gold star for being angry, he gets one for being done

Chorus

Bleed into the sun

Let it wash this away

Cut loose where the blood starts to run

I am turning daylight, I'm leaving today

He don't get to decide how I take the fall

Gonna rise up from right here at all

Bleed into the sun

Watch me go

Bleed into the sun

Verse

Ribs bruised, jaw still throbs but it's not where my voice comes from now

Copper in the air where the smoke curled through the window like a flower

Every breath I take cuts him loose a little more each time

He keeps talking 'bout what he could do to me if we don't stay in line

I show him every scar and tell him that's not how you keep love alive

Every drop of blood falling on this sidewalk is one less thing he owns inside

Pre-Chorus

What's left of him gonna fit in a box small enough for me to carry?

Who needs forgiveness when you can just watch it walk away?

This is not an exit, this is the entrance to the sun

He don't get a gold star for being angry, he gets one for being done

Chorus

Bleed into the sun

Let it wash this away

Cut loose where the blood starts to run

I am turning daylight, I'm leaving today

He don't get to decide how I take the fall

Gonna rise up from right here at all

Bleed into the sun

Watch me go

Bleed into the sun

Bridge

This is not a goodbye, this is an opening sentence

You're the last page of the book and I'm already on the next one

I don't need him to know what I've found because he won't ever see it for himself

My blood running down this sidewalk's proof that I got free from myself
