Lyrics
It's the morning when you rise
And the sun light hurts your eyes
Pull the pillow from your head
See the shadows on a halfway empty bed
Close your eyes hold back the tears
Realize your someone she don't need
When the hurt gets in your blood
Let it bleed let it bleed
The night I told the truth so many beds
That conversation spins round and round my head
Should have stayed downstairs
Silent on the rug
But I left love spinning like tires in the mud
We're all victims of the truth
She ain't coming back you can't relive your youth
When the hurt gets in your blood
Let it bleed let it bleed
Get up get out get up get dressed
Realize your something of a mess
When the hurt gets in your blood
Let it bleed let it bleed
