When you set me free
Will you make it bleed?

Im not inquiring
Im requesting

I dont care how, really

Peirce my heart
Twist my brain
Hurt my feelings
Destroy me

Tell me you've found someone
Someone else
Someone worthy of your love
Something I could never be

Cut this thread I've been hanging by
You'd be doing me a favor
The suspense has been killing me anyway

When you set me free
Will you make it bleed?
Will you send me off to writhe in my own skin
For months, even years?

I beg of you, be brutal
If it isnt tragic
I can never call it over
And if it isnt painful, than it wasnt sincere

And I expect it will be
The last thing I feel for quite some time

So tell me
Will you find a way
Any way, big or small...

When you set me free
Will you make it bleed?

Author's Note: I used to tear at my face with my nails... Can you do better than that?
