 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

You are the loneliest person that I've ever known
We are joined at the surface but nowhere else
I look in the glass and stare at your, strained,
Grey, motionless face and ask
Underneath, is there a golden soul?

Take care of the ones that you love
Take care of the ones that you love

Baby, I'm leaving here
You need to be with somebody else
I can't stop bleeding here
Can you suture my wounds?

Everyone is beginning to breathe as I break down
You are in love with a shadow that won't come back
Sooner or later we all have to wait,
Try forgetting everything
Underneath, there's a perfect sky

Baby, I'm leaving here
You need to be with somebody else
I can't stop bleeding here
Can you suture my wounds and feelings?

Baby, I'm leaving here
You need to be with somebody else
I can't stop bleeding here
Can you suture my wounds and feelings?

Baby, I'm leaving here
You need to be with somebody else
I can't stop bleeding here
Can you suture my wounds and feelings?

Baby, I'm leaving here
You need to be with somebody else
I can't stop bleeding here
Can you suture my wounds?
