Bleeding out Slow

I don't really care about her pretty blue eyes or long blonde hair

Her smile and the summer sea swept the summer out from under me

Inside my chest right where my heart once

Bled her name, there's nothing there

She said I made her lonely and together I was half the man I could be

If I'm honest with myself I don't understand

The pain of love

The empty hole

That's left when someone suddenly decides to go

The tears don't come

The silence grows

Like every word unsaid is a wounded animal

And it bleeds out slow

I can't really tell if I miss her or just the way her fingers felt

Her quiet words, October breeze, breathed that frigid winter into me

Inside my head right where my brain

Once dreamt of her there's someone else

She told me she was sorry and she prayed that I would understand

But if God is just a cop-out, I don't think I'm interested

In the pain of love

The empty hole

That's left when someone suddenly decides to go

The tears don't come

The silence grows

Like every word unsaid is a wounded animal

And it bleeds out slow

I'll build a wall

So tall

That can keep all my feelings in

And keep you out

Love, my heavy heart

And tired eyes

Keep us apart

Seal our goodbyes

Love, dreams die in time

And feelings grow

Have you moved on?

Are you alone?

Like I am

Love, I'm growing up

The hardest way

My skin is tough

Calloused by pain

But soft toward you

Love, my heavy heart

My heavy heart

My heavy heart

Is yours
