You're my affliction
You say to leave you alone
You're a contradiction
A flower growing in stone
Your pressure seems so high
I'm starting to wonder why it is

Listen, now is it so hard
To let a little bit go
Trying to hide the battle scars
But they're starting to show
Beating me like a drum
Making me wanna run from you

But your bleeding heart
Is gonna hurt you
Your bleeding heart
Is gonna wear you down
You better say goodbye
Or stop the madness
Of your bleeding heart
Oh, of your bleeding heart

Can you slow down
Take a second to breathe
You wanna burn it to the ground
But you're burnin' me
Do you like to feel the pain
Cause you think I'm always taking aim at you

But your bleeding heart
Is gonna hurt you
Your bleeding heart
Is gonna wear you down
You better say goodbye
Or stop the madness
Of your bleeding heart
Oh, of your bleeding heart

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Now let me be straight with you
You look cute when you're mad
But I'm gettin' black and blue
Haven't been that bad
It don't have to be this way
Do I always have to pay for everything

But your bleeding heart
Is gonna hurt you
Your bleeding heart
Is gonna wear you down
You better say goodbye
Or stop the madness
Of your bleeding heart
Oh, of your bleeding heart
