Memories are just where you laid them
Dragging the waters til the depths give up their dead
What did you expect to find?
Was it something you left behind?
Don't you remember anything I said when I said,
[Chorus:]
Don't fall away and leave me to myself
Don't fall away and leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands again
And leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands
Love lies bleeding
Oh hold me now I feel contagious
Am I the only place that you've left to go?
She cries her life is like
Some movie in black and white
Dead actors faking lines, over and over and over again she cries
[Chorus]
And I watched as you turned away
You don't remember, but I do
You never even tried
Don't fall away and leave me to myself
Don't fall away and leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands again
Leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands again
Leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands again, oh
This song reminds me so much of my parents. My mother helped take care of my grandmother for 7 years after my grandmother started suffering from dementia. Before my grandma passed away 5 years ago, she forgot who everyone and eventually just stopped talking. I watched my mom's heart break over and over because of my grandmothers condition. A year after my grandma died my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. It has progressed rapidly over just the past few weeks. I feel like my father is falling away from reality as he desperately searches for his own memories and my mother is left with love bleeding in her hands...again. It's so sad!
