Bare

I held my bleeding heart out Like it was something to be proud of Like I hadn't learned from my army pa the truth That a bleeding heart makes a bloody mess of you I let--I begged you to hurt me To run me out, to leave me empty Like I hadn't learned when my pa was stern with me That without a war, there can be no victory And there's no war with you, but I seek out injury And I finally understood The mess I make The risk I take When I try to be good The great mistake I undertake Believing that I should Be as bare  As I can be A dreamer lost in the woods You don't feel love You feel pity I hold my hollow hopes out Like they're something to be proud of Like you haven't told me I'm being naive Like I'm a child, like I haven't seen a thing And I finally understood The mess I make The risk I take When I try to be good The great mistake I undertake Believing that I should Be as bare  As I can be A dreamer lost in the woods You don't feel love You feel pity I held my bleeding heart out Like it was something to be proud of Like I hadn't learned from my army pa the truth That a bleeding heart makes a bloody mess of you
