You were so alive
I swear that you could glow in the dark
And I would close my eyes
So I could say that I had played a part
But your careless constitution
And the way that you can use it an art
I don't need you to bleed
Just anything you think will leave a mark
You were so alive
I swear that you could fly on your own
And I would close my eyes
So I could dream that I could be your home
But every indication
From your isolated nation told me no
Oh I don't need you to bleed
But I'd appreciate a lead before you go
You were so alive
I swear that I could die any day
And I would close my eyes
And think of reasons not to slip away
But I was never carefree
I was born and bred to worry and decay
No I don't need you to bleed
I need you to stay
No I don't need you to bleed
I need you to stay
