You felt the coldness in my eyes And it's something I'm not revealing Though you got used to my disguise You can't shake this awful feeling It's the me that I let you know 'Cause I'll never show I have my reasons I hate to say that I told you so But I told you so, yeah There's blood on my hands Like the blood in you Some things can't be treated So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you Straight from your eyes it's burying me Beautifully so disfigured This other side that you can't see Just praying you won't remember Feel the pain that I never show And I hope you know, it's never healing I hate to say that I told you so But I told you so, yeah There's blood on my hands Like the blood in you Some things can't be treated So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you Straight from your eyes it's burying me Beautifully so disfigured This other side that you can't see Just praying you won't remember There's blood, there's blood There's blood, blood, blood There's blood on my hands Like the blood in you Some things can't be treated So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you There's blood on my hands (There's blood) Like the blood in you (There's blood) Some things can't be treated (There's blood) So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you There's blood
