Bleed Me Out Slow

Drop

Bottle in your fist

Bottle in your fist

Verse 1

You pour the amber slow

Watch it tilt and spill

Your tongue turns to a razor

Cutting deeper than it will

I sit across the table

Smiling like a fool

Every syllable a splinter

Every word a broken tool

Pre-Chorus

Did you know

Did you know

What your mouth was doing

To the soft parts of me

Chorus

You scratched my soul

Scratched my soul

Left me bleeding slow

Bleeding slow

Said you loved me once

Said you loved me twice

But your sharp words cut me cold

Cut me cold

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Cut me cold

Oh-oh

Verse 2

Glass rings on the wood

Little circles of regret

You laugh at nothing funny

Then forget what you just said

I keep your shirt in a drawer

Folded like a wound

You stumble to the doorway

Humming some forgotten tune

Pre-Chorus

Did you know

Did you know

What your mouth was doing

To the soft parts of me

Chorus

You scratched my soul

Scratched my soul

Left me bleeding slow

Bleeding slow

Said you loved me once

Said you loved me twice

But your sharp words cut me cold

Cut me cold

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Cut me cold

Oh-oh

Bridge

Nights I sat and waited

For a version soft and kind

Instead I got the stranger

With the bitter in his mind

Bitter in his mind

Breakdown

I forgive you

I forgive you

Not because you earned it

But because I have to

Chorus

You scratched my soul

Scratched my soul

Left me bleeding slow

Bleeding slow

Said you loved me once

Said you loved me twice

But your sharp words cut me cold

Cut me cold

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Cut me cold

Oh-oh

Cut me cold
