This Bleeding Heart

from Back From The Grave by The Ghoul

lyrics

This is the story of a monster boy
Who had an evil past some say
With passions for all things dead
He fears light in the day
He’s seen horrors that you’d only dream
He’ll get you when you sleep
Like a boogie man he stalks
You’d better pray your soul to keep

But there’s a softer side that many haven’t seen
Black roses given to ones loved with thorns that prick & bleed
Open wounds breed fiery lust inside flesh that was once green
Dwelling on what might've been, mending of two hands touching

I promise that I’ll see you one day
As soon as I find a way to ease the pain

This bleeding heart hurts so bad
I gotta pick up the pieces
& stitch them back together again
'Cause, honey when I’m near you
I’m such a stronger man
When I'm gazing deep into your eyes
They’re like mesmerizing gems

As time goes by, I think about her every day
Maybe if things could’ve changed, then maybe I'd have stayed
& I’m sorry for the pain I caused in all the things I said
Tell me that I’ll have the chance to make it better again
