Let Me Bleed

I'm a fossil in your stone

I'm more than self-assured you'll keep me whole

Sittin' under constant pressure

I will never crumble like debris beneath their feet

I'm so scared, your heart's not there

You're a diamond in the coal

Stripped away from home, reshaped and sold

Sittin' under constant pressure

Time will never turn me into something so damn sweet

I'm so scared, your heart's not there

You tell me my life just started

Pay my dues and play it smart, and

You guarantee I'll succeed

I don't want to break your heart

If I'm too broke to shout my round

Let alone give you what you need

'Cause I'm the one who tells it honest

You'll have to pay your own way for the life you need

Just let me bleed it out each day

And, babe, I promise you'll get what you deserve eventually

You tell me my life just started

Pay my dues and play it smart and

You guarantee I'll succeed

I don't want to break your heart

If I'm too broke to shout my round

Let alone give you what you need

Just let me bleed
