Bleed

Wake yourself in the middle of the night again
Too tired to sleep and too alone to pray
Who knows tomorrow what that the sky is gonna give
And are we too blind to see the rain for what it is

     And it’s a matter of fact
     You’re gonna have to bleed sometimes
     You’re gonna have to leave sometimes
     You’re gonna have to bleed sometimes

All wired up to the beat of this restless room
Too tired to sleep too proud to just look at you
And you say time will never heal us time is just a lonely word
But are we too blind the see the scars for what they’re worth

    And it’s a matter of fact
    You’re gonna have to bleed sometimes
    And it’s a matter of fact
    You’re gonna have to leave sometimes
    You’re gonna have to grieve sometimes
    You’re gonna have to bleed sometimes

Don't you say you’re losing
Don't say you’re tired of holding on
Don't you say you’re letting go
‘Cos the hurt becomes the scar
That leaves you dreaming in the dark

    But you’re gonna have to bleed sometimes
    You’re gonna have to leave sometimes
    You’re gonna have to bend sometimes
    It's gonna have to end sometimes

       When there's no turning back
       You’re gonna have to ache sometimes
       Be the one to break sometimes
       You’re gonna have to bleed sometimes

    You’re gonna have to bleed sometimes
    You’re gonna have to bleed sometimes
    You’re gonna have to bleed sometimes

    You’re gonna have to bleed sometimes
