Bleeding Heart

Playing Dead

(From the album Dead Vinyl)

The poison's in our veins
I feel you slipping away
Don't close your eyes
You're not leaving me

I know you wanna be rid of the pain
You're tired of playing this game
Just believe the lie
You're not dying on me

It's not just in your head
They're not just playing dead
I wish I could fix you
I hate to see you with these issues
It's gotten to your head
You wish you were dead
I know I can't fix you
You can't leave me with these issues

We don't have reasons to stay
But here me out when I say
I need you to be alright
This is killing me

We're trapped inside this place
There's no way to escape
But you're not gonna die
You're staying with me

It's not just in your head
They're not just playing dead
I wish I could fix you
I hate to see you with these issues
It's gotten to your head
You wish you were dead
I know I can't fix you
You can't leave me with these issues

There's a demon screaming in your brain
You wanna go out with a bang
I can't fix your mind
But you're not dying on me

You're bleeding out on the highway
To help us, there's no right way
I hate to see you cry
It's killing me

It's not just in your head
They're not just playing dead
I wish I could fix you
I hate to see you with these issues
It's gotten to your head
You wish you were dead
I know I can't fix you
Please don't leave me with these issues

We're dying on a speeding train
Off the rails once again
I'm running out of time
Just stay here with me

This bridge is gonna break
After all of it, where's the gain?
I'm afraid we're gonna die
You're not leaving me

I'm scared to be alone
I am breaking

It's not just in your head
They're not just playing dead
I know I can't fix you
I'm bleeding fucking issues

The poison's in our veins
I feel you slipping away
Don't close your eyes
You can't leave me
(Alright?)
