Love lies bleeding
Framed by the kitchen door
Staring at the ceiling
Tries to get up off the floor
But she can't quite make it
And she doesn't know how to pray
Her darkest things
How they show her age
They hide in the wings
But now they're centestage
And she can't quite fake it
But there'll be other days
No bed of saffron
No veil of tears
The white horses of desire
She burns out
She rises
Like a phoenix from the fire
Your smile gives you away
Love lies bleeding
You'd swear she couldn't bleed no more
But her heart's still beating
What else is there to live for
She can't quite break it
And she doesn't know how to pray
Your smile gives you away
