maybe i don’t want to be with you
because of what it says about me
maybe i want someone who doesn’t love
to see me bleed

what does it say about me
when i never ever leave
even when your pushing me out the door
i come back and plead

maybe it has nothing to do with what i feel for you
it’s how i feel about myself when i take all the punches you threw
and i understand a doormat is what you really need
so what does it say about me if i let you let me bleed

maybe i don’t want you because i owe it to myself
to hold the cards to my fate not leave it in the hands of someone else
what does it say about me if i go on and leave it be
how can i live as a woman who solely exists to bleed
