Bleeding

Hey there buddy, hey there friend, it’s been a while

It’s been a while, I think I missed you

I think I missed you

Where’ve you been for all these days

All these sunny, sunny days

Where’ve you been for all these nights and all these years?

I think I missed you, but I don’t know how I feel when someone disappears.

Well, it hasn’t been that long

And I guess it’s been that long

And it hasn’t been that sunny

And I guess it’s been that sunny

And I haven’t disappeared

Though I may not have appeared the way you know me

‘Cause I’ve been bleeding, bleeding; bleeding, bleeding; bleeding, bleeding; bleeding, bleeding; bleeding, bleeding; bleeding to break away

No time to run to Santa Fe

I’d lose my dreams along the way

At least there’s one that’s still okay

I don’t want that to slip away

So now I’m bleeding, bleeding (ba-dum bum dum) bleeding, bleeding; bleeding all the day.

Hey there buddy, hey there friend, it’s not so bad

It’s not so bad, how did this happen?

How did this happen?

Did somebody cheat on you

Or did you cheat on someone else

Or did you lose it training Gurkhas in Nepal?

Or did it happen that all this came from nothing happening at all?

Well, you wouldn’t understand

And I guess you’d understand

But I’d never stoop to cheating

‘Cause there is no way of cheating

And it wasn’t just one thing

If it had been just one thing then I’d be happy

But I’ve been bleeding, bleeding…

Hey there buddy, hey there friend, we’re here for you

We’re here for you and we’re not leaving

And we’re not leaving

Why do you feel the way you do?

What kind of shit have you gone through?

We want to know because, god dammit, we’re your friends.

And we’re not leaving until we’ve some idea how this story ends.

Well, you don’t need to know the truth

And you already know the truth

But it doesn’t really matter

And I guess it really matters

But there’s nothing you can do

Though I guess that’s nothing new to anybody

And so I’m bleeding, bleeding…
