lyrics

i've been bleeding for boys all of my days
they come to me for shelter
then they take all there is to take
it's been so hard trying to get by
bearing their sins on my knees
they've taken my fruit, all that was ripe
left only the rotten for me

boy, didn't i stay when you said don't run away?
didn't i let you mold me like clay?
i kept your secrets safe, i was your hiding place
you came inside left me here bleeding for days

i've been bleeding for boys all of my nights
they think that i am weak
they never think i will put up a fight
they were right
but you didn't take no for an answer
you still wanted more
so you took out my heart
cast it aside, left me here to bleed on the floor

but not anymore, no
not anymore

boy, didn't i stay when you said don't run away?
didn't i let you mold me like clay?
i kept your secrets safe, i was your hiding place
you came inside left me here bleeding for days

but not anymore, no
not anymore
