Bleeding Scars
Echoes of Love Lost: Bleeding Scars by Kevin Klenke
Lyrics
You left me broken down wishing for one more chance
You departed, leaving me shattered, hoping for another opportunity.
You had me holding on to something I don't know what
You had me clinging to something undefined.
Why you gotta have me and leave me to trip on you
Why did you involve me and then abandon me to stumble over you?
When there's nothing to fall for anymore
When there's nothing left to emotionally invest in.
It doesn't have to end this way
There's an alternative outcome possible, it doesn't have to conclude in this manner.
You left me all alone
You deserted me, leaving me entirely by myself.
There's something longing inside of me
There's a yearning or desire within me.
And all that's left on my face are bleeding scars
All that remains on my face are visible wounds or emotional hurts.
I can't find the truth in you, you're acting strange
I cannot discern sincerity in your actions; your behavior is peculiar.
You always play the same game, there's nothing left
You consistently engage in the same deceptive behavior; nothing substantial remains.
I'm always here with you, you're waiting for somebody else
I'm consistently present for you, but you're anticipating someone else.
And I want to change all just so I can please you
I desire to transform everything just to satisfy you.
It doesn't have to end this way
Similar to line 5, suggesting an alternative resolution.
You left me all alone
You abandoned me completely, leaving me isolated.
There's something longing inside of me
A persistent internal yearning or desire.
And all that's left on my face are bleeding scars
Reiteration of the emotional wounds visible on my face.
Why'd you leave me here
Questioning the reason for abandonment.
Just walking to nowhere
Metaphorical expression of aimless wandering or purposeless existence.
Love is all that we've got between each other
Love is the only positive connection between us, overshadowed by persistent pain.
And not the pain that always comes for me
Emphasizing the contrast between love and the consistent pain experienced.
Bleeding scars
Direct mention of the enduring emotional wounds.
Bleeding scars
Reiteration of the enduring emotional wounds.
