Born to Bleed

I couldn't close my eyes,
I stayed up all night
I thought of promises
that broke me down to my knees
I take no prisoners
I have no demands

Too many unanswered questions, so many times
Most times the finger points at me
In my confusion, I might slip and cross the line
you can't help me it's in my soul
pray for mercy, nowhere else to go

Swimming hard and fast
against the fire
lost in a flood
of ancient heat
I just know it, I can feel it
there's something in the air
maybe the moon just gave up and fell
something's not quite right
my heart feels so empty
my mind's so full of doubt

Sometimes I feel I was born to be in pain
sometimes I feel I was born to die of need
I ache at the thought of another day like this
I can't shake the feeling that I'm
born to bleed

Love likes to play with me
it drives me wild
it hurts me really deep
and I don't know why
I see the trouble
and I feel the danger
Is my heart beating for a heartless stranger?

I'm freezing cold
and its getting colder
I'm losing hope
I can't wait no longer
If I could read everyone’s mind
I wouldn't come around here no more

You better know that I'm losing my head
And where I go love will never come back
Well you've watched the sun set on the seven seas
dined in the company of killers and queens
you think there isn't much that you haven't done
you've tasted everything that can turn you on
there used to be innocence in your eyes
Till you realized you were born to bleed.
