Baby I whisper in the night, so cold

Telling you to stop, but you lose control

Every time you sink in deeper still

You apologize, but you take your fill

If I could be steel, I wouldn't break

But I'm just flesh, so I bend and ache

oh please

Why do I, why do I, why do I?

Why do I give in, why do I obey?

You cut through me, but I beg you to stay

I'm bleeding, I'm fading

You're the knife, and I'm still waiting

For the moment I stop feeling

For the moment I stop bleeding

But I can't / no, I can't

Oh I can't

You say you hate the stains I leave

But baby you carve them into me

You push too hard, but it's not your fault

I was born to break, to bear it all

And when you pull away, I feel you still

A phantom ache I can’t seem to kill

Baby

Why do I, why do I, why do I?

Why do I give in, why do I obey?

You cut through me, but I beg you to stay

I'm bleeding, I'm fading

You're the knife, and I'm still waiting

For the moment I stop feeling

For the moment I stop bleeding

But I can't / no, I can't

Maybe I'm just meant to scar

To feel your kiss like a work of art

And even when you bleed me dry

You'll come back / I know you'll try

The blood is drying, but you still shine

You come again / while I'm left behind

Maybe one day, I won’t have to feel

But until then, I guess I’ll heal

Oh you cut deep but the pleasure's mine
