Lyrics

Did you ever want it? Did you want it bad? Oh my, it tears me apart Did you ever fight it? All of the pain So much pride Running through my veins Bleeding, I'm bleeding! My cold little heart Oh I, I can't stand myself And I know in my heart In this cold heart I can live or I can die I believe if I just try You believe in you and I In you and I In you and I In you and I Did you ever notice I've been ashamed? All my life I've been playing games We can try to hide it It's all the same I've been losing you One day at a time Bleeding, I'm bleeding! My cold little heart Oh I, I can't stand myself And I know in my heart In this cold heart I can live or I can die I believe if I just try You believe in you and I In my heart, in this cold heart I can live or I can die I believe if I just try You believe in you and I In you and I In you and I In you and I In you and I In you and I In you and I In you and I Maybe this time I can be strong But since I know who I am I'm probably wrong Maybe this time I can go far Thinking about where I've been Ain't helping me start
