lyrics

The other day a friend of mine suggested
A couple numbers for some therapy
And I’ll admit at first I half-protested
And we all know
That shit’s
Not free

But someone’s been strumming my bleeding heartstrings
I used to pride myself on being tough
But it seems the more I open up about it
Can’t see myself
Giving you up
Giving you up

My best friends say I should cut you off
But I don’t wanna stop, no, my bleeding heart
Even if I could change, would it be enough?
And I don’t wanna stop, no, my bleeding heart

I keep checking on your timeline
And yeah, I know that’s not my cutest trait
Should just stop asking ‘round if you’re fine
Cuz when I do, can’t get to sleep for days
Like there’s a part of me that needs to hold on
A part that doesn’t really wanna change
Cuz if I lost my sense of sadness
Would I grow up or fade away?

And now my therapist says
I should cut you off
But I don’t wanna stop, no, my bleeding heart
Even if I could change, would it be enough?
And I don’t wanna stop, no, my bleeding heart

Think I have control, but I don’t wanna stop
I’ve thrown out my phone, but I can’t even stop
If I go it alone, don’t think I’ll make it stop
But I don’t wanna stop it
I don’t wanna stop it

And my best friends say
I should cut you off
But I don’t wanna stop, no, my bleeding heart
Even if I could change, would it be enough?
If I don’t wanna stop, no, my bleeding heart
