Bleeding Out

Imagine Dragons · Night Visions [2012]

I'm bleeding out

So if the last thing that I do

Is bring you down

I bleed out for you

So I bare my skin

And I count my sins

And I close my eyes

And I take it in

I'm bleeding out, I'm bleeding out for you (for you)



When the day has come

But I've lost my way around

And the seasons stop

And hide beneath the ground

When the sky turns gray

And everything is screaming

I would reach inside

Just to find my heart is beating



Yeah you tell me to hold on

Oh you tell me to hold on

But innocence is gone

And what was right is wrong



Cause I'm bleeding out

So if the last thing that I do

Is to bring you down

I bleed out for you



So I bare my skin

And I count my sins

And I close my eyes

And I take it in

I'm bleeding out, I'm bleeding out for you (for you)



When the hour is night

And the hopelessness is sinking in

And the wolves all cry

To fill the night with howlering

When your eyes are red

And emptiness is all you know

With the darkness fed

I will be your scarecrow



You tell me to hold on

Oh you tell me to hold on

But innocence is gone

And what was right is wrong



Cause I'm bleeding out

So if the last thing that I do

Is bring you down

I bleed out for you

So I bare my skin

And I count my sins

And I close my eyes

And I take it in

I'm bleeding out, I'm bleeding out for you (for you)



I'm bleeding out for you (for you)

I'm bleeding out for you (for you)

I'm bleeding out for you (for you)

I'm bleeding out for you



Cause I'm bleeding out

So if the last thing that I do

Is bring you down

I bleed out for you

So I bear my skin

And I count my sins

And I close my eyes

And I take it in

I'm bleeding out, I'm bleeding out for you (for you)
