Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Make me feel like a beggar
Make me feel like a thief
Make me feel like a battle that cannot end in peace
Make me feel like running
As if I've lost my nerve
Make me feel like crying tears I don't deserve
[Verse 2]
Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Oh, who have I become?
To myself I am numb
I am numb, I am numb
[Verse 3]
Is this really living?
Sometimes it's hard to tell
Or is this just the kinda gentler Hell?
Turn out the lights
And let me stare into your soul
I was born and bled for you to hold
[Verse 4]
Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Oh, who have I become?
To myself I am numb
I am numb, I am numb
[Verse 5]
Never said thank you
Never said please
Never gave reason to believe
So as it stands
I remain on my knees
Good lovers make great enemies
[Verse 6]
Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Oh, who have I become?
To myself I am numb
I am numb, I am numb
[Verse 7]
Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Who have I become
To myself I am numb
I am numb, I am numb
