Have your nails scratch the deepest
Have you broken skin this time
Made your mark and took me deeper
As you drown me with your eyes
I held my hand over your mouth
As you scream at me to feel
You felt my scars with understanding
But I can't promise anything
Can you tell
That I picked my poison well
That I have no more to sell to you
Is it really that important that I settle down
Does it really even matter that I have my doubts
I search for the one who bleeds
I reach for the one who bleeds
I forget to dream in color
I am better off alone
Honest hearts are undercover
We are shadows on our own
Lose ourselves in open waters
Always swimming back to shore
My addictions have no bounderies
Now I'm crying out for more [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/trapt/bleed_like_me.html ]
Can you tell
That I picked my poison well
That I have no more to sell to you
Is it really that important that I settle down
Does it really even matter that I have my doubts
I search for the one who bleeds
I reach for the one who bleeds
Like me
I have my doubts
I have my doubts
And so does everbody else
So help me take this all away
You gotta help me take this all away
Please help me take this all away
And bleed like me
So help me take this all away
You gotta help me take this all away
Please help me take this all away
And bleed like me
Is it really that important that I settle down
Does it really even matter that I have my doubts
I search for the one who bleeds
I reach for the one who bleeds
I reach for
I reach for
I reach for
I reach for
I reach for the one who bleeds
Like me!
To me, it sounds like it's about finding the person who can understand you and what you have been through. When it says, "i search/reach for the one who bleeds like me," i imagine he wants to know someone who can understand the pain he has gone through.
I think that sometimes you find that person who gets you through certain times, an maybe this sounds cruel or whatever but it beats being lonely. So you stay with them. And then, when it turns serious, you wonder why they dont view it the same way... But you're looking for someone else, someone who is on the same level.
But thats just me.
Or maybe, you're with that person but they're not ready and you are or vice versa. And you're kinda waiting for it to happen?
