The First to Bleed

Verse 1

I got scars from the battles I never let you see

Stayed awake through the chaos so you could fucking sleep

Everybody talks tough till the sky turns black

But I’ll be the first one bleeding if it keeps you intact

I don’t care if the whole damn world wants war

They’ll have to walk through me to get to yours

I’ve lost too much, I know what pain can do

So I built these walls with my bare hands around you

Pre-Chorus

And if the ground starts breaking beneath our feet

I’ll carry every one of you before I leave

Chorus

I’ll do whatever it takes

Burn my heart into flames

Stand in front of the lightning, screaming out your names

If the darkness comes calling

If the heavens collapse

I’ll fight like hell itself to make sure you make it back

You’re my blood, my home, my reason I survive

And I swear on every scar

I’ll protect you with my life

Verse 2

I’ve seen fake love vanish when the storm rolls in

But not me, bitch, I’m staying till the bitter end

You can cry on my shoulder, you can fall apart

I’ll stitch every shattered little piece of your heart

And if somebody hurts the ones I fucking love

They’ll find out real quick what I’m made of

Cause loyalty ain’t words that you throw around

It’s standing your ground when everything burns down

Pre-Chorus

So if your demons drag you underneath the waves

I’ll dive in after you without a second break

Chorus

I’ll do whatever it takes

Burn my heart into flames

Stand in front of the lightning, screaming out your names

If the darkness comes calling

If the heavens collapse

I’ll fight like hell itself to make sure you make it back

You’re my blood, my home, my reason I survive

And I swear on every scar

I’ll protect you with my life

Bridge

Let the monsters come

Let the whole world hate me

I don’t need saving if my people make it safely

I’d walk through fire

I’d stare death in the face

Just to know the ones I love are gonna be okay

Final Chorus

I’ll do whatever it takes

Even if I break

Even if my whole damn soul starts to fade

Cause family ain’t leaving

And friends don’t get replaced

So I’ll stand beside you till my final fucking day

And when the night gets cold

When you’re terrified inside

Just remember I’ll be there

Right by your side

Forever ready for war

Forever ready to fight

For the people that I love

I’d give up my life
