Let Me Bleed - Dear Seattle

I’m a fossil in your stone, and I’m more than self-assured you’ll keep me whole

Sitting under constant pressure, I will never, crumble like debris beneath

their feet

I’m so scared, your hearts not there

You’re a diamond in the coal, stripped away from home, reshaped and sold

Sitting under constant pressure, time will never, turn me into something so

damn sweet

I’m so scared, your hearts not there

You tell me my life just started pay my dues and play it smart, and you

guarantee I’ll succeed

But I don’t want to break your heart if I’m too broke to shout my round,

let alone give you what you need

‘Cause I’m the one who tells it honest, you’ll have to pay your own way for the

life you need

Just let me bleed it out each day and babe I promise, you’ll get what you

deserve eventually

You tell me my life just started, pay my dues and play it smart and you

guarantee I’ll succeed

But I don’t want to break your heart if I’m too broke to shout my round,

let alone give you what you need

Just let me bleed
