Bleeding Hearts
Set your sites on the sun
But settle for the moon
Deny the world air as you take it for yourself
I had everything you asked for
But you wanted so much more
Devoir the dreams of your parents
And destroy their hopes for success
Give up on love and give up on life
Everything was set up so perfectly
But you threw everything away, including me
Hold on to hope of survival
As I hold on to the threads of love
You cut down the world around you
As you divide your own heart
Hoping that you wouldn’t fall apart
I wouldn’t be so upset if we gave it one last chance
But you deny me anything, even after I gave you everything
My bleeding heart won’t heal
And even after I let all this blood flow like water
You deny my heartache as being real
But these days you break down on the cold ground
And dream the world to your feet
I could have given you anything you would ever want
But your heart decides that the world isn’t enough
I treated you like a queen
To show you what you really mean to me
But guess it just wasnt enough
Set your sites for the sun
But fail before the moon
Fail before you even move
