Saw you sitting all alone in the dark
I tried to help you, but you pushed me away
I want to tell you everything will be ok
But sadly, you didn't want me to stay

So, I will scream in your ear and give you the pain you need
Go ahead and bleed
Go ahead and starve
Go ahead and drink till your sorrows are gone for a short while
I won't tell you to smile
I will still be by your side
So go ahead and bleed

I'm watching you fall apart
It still breaks my heart
But this is what you want
I will never understand why you like this pain
Do you still hope to hit a vein?
I want to tell you everything will be okay
But you're too worried about how much you weigh

So, I will scream in your ear and give you the pain you need
Go ahead and bleed
Go ahead and starve
Go ahead and drink till your sorrows are gone for a short while
I won't tell you to smile
I will still be by your side
So go ahead and bleed

And I dread the day
When you ask me to stay,
Cause I know that will be the time
When you will stop bleeding
And when you will start conceding
But you will let the world know that you
Went ahead and bled
Went ahead and starved
You drank your sorrows away
Yeah, there will be that day
So go ahead and bleed

I was in a bad place and one of my friends watched me go down in flames. He wanted to help -he tried- but I didn't want positive people in my life, so he changed himself to stay with me.
