" I know I'll do it again
I know we're gonna collide
I know we'll call it the end
But it's always always a lie
You wear your heart on your sleeve
I wear my blood on my tie
But it's only love underneath, this disguise
Oh you left, a hole in me
I don't cut, easily
I'm only just holding up, on my knees
I think it's time to open up, I don't mean bleed "
