Well the first time that I felt it
I thought that everything was lost
I never realized it would hurt you
I never counted up the cost

Now there's open wounds across my skin
I let her poison seep right in

Never thought that I would start to like it as much as I did

Just gonna stay here and watch my heart
Break and bruise as I let it get torn apart

Just gonna keep pushing you away
Cuz I don't want to pull you right into the mess I've made

Now there's times I've tried to fight it
Tried to finally stand my ground
But every time I think I'm better
I hop back on this merry-go-round

Now my scars are stating loud and clear
That I can't ever escape my fear
And I know you want to help me
But I can't let you get that near

Just gonna stay here and watch my heart
Break and bruise as I let it get torn apart

Just gonna keep pushing you away
Cuz I don't want to pull you right into the mess I've made

I know that I'm
A masochist
It's who I am
I get my pleasure from the pain

I'll tear my skin
To match my heart
Because the pain's
What keeps me sane

Just gonna stay here and watch my heart
Break and bruise as I let it get torn apart

Just gonna keep pushing you away
Cuz I don't want to pull you right into the mess I've made
