lyrics

Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
Just throw my bleeding heart out the window
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
Just throw my bleeding heart out the window
You know that I have seen it all before
Don't ask me why I don't saddle up and fly across an ocean to the week before I met you
I was proud as I was young
Reading politics and thinking of the good that it has done in this whole world that I've been shaking like a tree
But now you see me on a ladder with a basket with no fruit
And I scream somebody must be listening
I have nothing except all that you have given me
I'm crying foul for what's merciless and pitiful
Holding sacred to the things that I have got
I'm crushing diamonds with my teeth and searching anxiously for someplace I can spit....
And I'm beggin you
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
Just throw my bleeding heart out the window

Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
Just throw my bleeding heart out the window
You know that I have seen it all before
Don't ask me why I don't saddle up and fly across an ocean to the week before I left you
I was sitting in a park
Watching fairytale processions of my past and they were drinking from a can that I've been shaking endlessly
But now you see me bursting open, foaming white, sticking to you
I scream somebody must be listening
I am bleeding on an alter you have given me
Still crying foul for what's merciless and pitiful
Spilling cups that you are filling with my blood
I'm shaking mountains with my rage and searching endlessly for someplace I can sleep
And I'm beggin you...
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
Just throw my bleeding heart out the window
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
Just throw my bleeding heart out the window
