Shoot me in the dark, nobody knows,
When my blood runs down, runs down my nose,
Nobody can see, because it's dark,
I could cry but why would I, you hit your mark,

I am just a shadow, lurking where I'm not meant to be,
Rather than dying, I just bleed,
I would rather bleed, as long as you wanted me,

Cursed am I, who couldn't let go,
I tread lightly, like prints in the snow,
My heart bled out for all to see,
No amount of apologies,
Will heal this open wound,

Shoot me again, and again,
I deserve the pain, I deserve the sin,
I couldn't lose enough blood,
Because I lost all my love,

In the dark, nobody can see the red,
As it leaks in the kitchen sink,
My bones teetering like a broken link,
Evil words, nasty thoughts, I have bred,

I only know what I am told to know,
How am I to pretend when that's not me,
You tell me to go, just to go,
Like everything of us meant nothing,

I would rather bleed,
I would rather lose my respect, my dignity,
You can keep shooting in the dark,
Because I've never been your mark,

Just this once I was, I was the knife in your skin,
I made you bleed out in the light,
I would choose you, even if I had to lose my sight,
Because you shot me in the dark,
Where no one can see me, when I bleed,
But that's okay, because your words are all I need.
