Bleeding Beauty

You scarred me
You left me for dead on the floor
You flawed me
Just enough to leave me crying for more

I shouldn't want what's so nasty
I know that it's wrong
Just keep treating me badly
And the circle goes on

You break me in places
So that I'll need you more
Each day different faces
Find ways to even the score
You carve your name in me
Like I'm twisted fine art
Sometimes beauty has to bleed
Has to be torn apart

You bruised me
You left me bleeding out on the floor
You mauled me
Just enough to keep me begging for more

Shouldn't jump into disaster
I shouldn't love how it burns
Shouldn't love the guilt after
Maybe one day I'll learn

That you break me in places
So that I'll need you more
Each day different faces
Find ways to even the score
You carve your name in me
Like I'm twisted fine art
Sometimes beauty has to bleed
Has to be torn apart

Slicing under my shirt
Your breath beats off my neck
Addicted to the hurt
And I don't want it to end

'Cause you're twisting
I'm breaking
Bending backwards for you
And I'm cracking
I'm aching
Only so much I'll go through

My body won't last forever
If you treat me this way
You're not listening 'Whatever!'
You're so not caring again
But I know
Now I know

That you break me in places
So that I'll need you more
Each day different faces
Find ways to even the score
You carve your name in me
Like I'm twisted fine art
Sometimes beauty has to bleed
Has to be torn apart
