The Bleeding

by Mark Lanegan

Cries...
I remember when
All the games began
Remember every little lie
And every last goodbye
Promises you broke
Words you choked on
And I never walked away
It's still a mystery to me
Well, I'm so empty
I'm better off without you
And you're better off without me
Well, you're so unclean
I'm better off without you
And you're better off without me
The lying!
The bleeding!
The screaming!
Was tearing me apart!
The hatred!
Deceiving!
Debating!
It's over!
Paint the mirrors black
To forget you
I still picture your face
And the way you used to taste
Roses in a glass
Dead and wilted
To you this all was nothing
Everything to you is nothing
Well, you're so filthy
I'm better off without you
And you're better off without me
Well, I'm so ugly
You're better off without me
And I'm better off without...
The lying!
The bleeding!
The screaming!
Was tearing me apart!
The hatred!
The beatings!
Disaster!
It's over!
As wicked as you are
You're beautiful to me.
You're the darkest burning star,
You're my perfect disease!
The lying!
The bleeding!
The screaming!
Was tearing me apart!
The hatred!
The beatings!
It's over!
Disaster!
The lying!
The bleeding!
The screaming!
Was tearing me apart!
The hatred!
The beatings!
It's over!
Disaster!
It's over now...
