Lyrics
I thought that I’ve been hurt before
But no one’s ever left me quite this sore
Your words cut deeper than a knife
Now I need someone to breathe me back to life
Got a feeling that I’m going under
But I know that I’ll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on
You watch me bleed until I can’t breathe
I’m shaking falling onto my knees
And now that I’m without your kisses
I’ll be needing stitches
I’m tripping over myself
I’m aching begging you to come help
And now that I’m without your kisses
I’ll be needing stitches
Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Oh you lured me in I couldn’t sense the pain
Your bitter heart cold to the touch
Now I’m gonna reap what I sew
I’m left seeing red on my own
Got a feeling that I’m going under
But I know that I’ll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on
You watch me bleed until I can’t breathe
I’m shaking falling onto my knees
And now that I’m without your kisses
I’ll be needing stitches
I’m tripping over myself
I’m aching begging you to come help
And now that I’m without your kisses
I’ll be needing stitches
Needle and the thread
Gotta get you out of my head
Needle and the thread
Gonna wind up dead
Needle and the thread
Gotta get you out of my head
Needle and the thread
Gonna wind up dead
Needle and the thread
Gotta get you out of my head
Needle and the thread
Gonna wind up dead
Needle and the thread
Gotta get you out of my head get you out of my head
You watch me bleed until I can’t breathe
I’m shaking falling onto my knees
And now that I’m without your kisses
I’ll be needing stitches
I’m tripping over myself
I’m aching begging you to come help
And now that I’m without your kisses
I’ll be needing stitches
And now that I’m without your kisses
I’ll be needing stitches
And now that I’m without your kisses
I’ll be needing stitches
