Intro: Silence
Blood stained sheets
What have I gotten
myself into this time?
I close my eyes and
I believe you
If I should die I'll
B-B-B C#m---B-B-B-C#m
never leave you
B-B-B--A----B--B-B-C#m---B-B-B-C#m-B-B-B

Verse 1:
(hold)
I wish that I could walk away
guilt rests in my hands
I know that it is for the better
I never said that i'd compromise
between fact or fiction
there's so much better out there
than you and me
I could end this in seconds
I know it but I don't dare
Refrain:
Another sentence this
all could be over
Your words are like weapons
(hold)
why can't you protect me
Chorus 1:
Blood stained sheets
What have I gotten
myself into this time?
I close my eyes and
I believe you
If I should die I'll
--
never leave you
Verse 1:
(hold)
I wish that you would walk away
red still lines your hands
I know that it's
still for the better
I never said that
i'd stand aside
between you and the door
there's nothing
better out there
than you and me
I could end this in seconds
I know it but I don't dare
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus 1)
Chorus 2:
Blood stained sheets
It didn't matter when
I was calling
out your name
I felt the wound
grow ever slowly
closer than you'd
ever hold me
Bridge:
Its a work of art
the way this fell apart
was the design too
faded from the start
or was the artist
just too blinded by this
no its common sense I
lack the confidence
still i'll confess all
these things to you to you
Interlude: A(hold)---B-B-B
Verse 3:
take a look at yourself
and tell me what do you see
I'd take a bullet for you
you'd put a bullet through me
and as I lay on the floor
with this hole in my chest
how will you walk from the truth
--
with all that blood on your dress
And everything that you want
is everything that I need
I would have gave it to you
but you'd have take it from me
and every word that you said
it brought me closer to sin
I close my eyes and pretend
its all fading
(Repeat Refrain and Chorus 1 and Chorus 2)
Outro:
So Why we go
(hold)
If you go within
