Still Bleeding

Still Bleeding

Isn’t it factastic how good ideas get perfected just as you’re trying to fall asleep. 

75 beats per minute. Four per bar. I want this one to have a rock feel but also it’s a song that speaks of grief, pain and guilt. Don’t know the key yet.

Verse 1

If I could hide it all away

Behind the happiness, the laughter,

the bright and sunny day.

But it’s been a year,

How did we get here?

How did we end up this way?

Chorus 1

But I’m still bleeding

And you’re not sorry

For anything.

I’m still bleeding. 

And I’m sorry I knew you.

For all you put me through.

Verse 2

If I could quietly slip away.

Pack it in, throw in the towel,

Who knew the things you’re say?

If you’d just let me leave,

Give me a reprieve.

Relent and let me fray.

Chorus 2

But I’m still bleeding

And you’re just watching

As I’m dying.

I’m still bleeding. 

And I’m sorry that I met you

For all the things I knew.

Bridge.

The things I did,

The things I hid.

Couldn’t you just see?’

Wouldn’t ask that.

Of anyone.

But you asked it of me.

Middle 8

But I’m still bleeding

And you’re not sorry

I’m dying!

I’m still bleeding. 

And not sorry that I left you.

For all you put me through.

And I’m still bleeding

And you’re just watching

As I’m burning!

I’m still bleeding. 

And I’m sorry that I miss you.

Coz you never loved me too.

Repeat still bleeding.
