Love Lies Bleeding

by Secession

on A Dark Enchantment (Remastered) (1987)

They said a fool will rush in
Blind to the things
That a wise man would see

Though a fool I may be
I'd rather die on my feet
Than to live on my knees

It's unkind that you're so slow
Your brain is a desert where the grass won't grow
All this time and still so low
In body and mind and heart and soul

I don't mean to make you cry
But the tears seem to flow at the wink of an eye
No matter how much I make you smile
I turn right back to catch you crying

And the words of the poets
Are lost to the minds of the prophets of doom
And all the powers in heaven and Earth
Couldn't make them change that tune

Never compromise
If you can't disguise
What you feel inside
Let your heart decide

I wish you'd realize
You should criticize
All that you despise

It's unkind that you're so slow
Your brain is a desert
Where the grass won't grow
All this time and still so low
In body and mind and heart and soul

I don't mean to make you cry
But the tears seem to flow at the wink of an eye
No matter how much I make you smile
I turn right back to catch you crying

Never compromise
If you can't disguise
What you feel inside
Let your heart decide

I wish you'd realize
You should criticize
All that you despise

It's unkind that you're so slow
Your brain is a desert where the grass won't grow
All this time and still so low
In body and mind and heart and soul

It's unkind that you're so slow
Your brain is a desert where the grass won't grow
All this time and still so low
In body and mind and heart and soul

It's unkind that you're so slow
Your brain is a desert where the grass won't grow
All this time and still so low
In body and mind and heart and soul

I don't mean to make you cry
But the tears seem to flow at the wink of an eye
No matter how much I make you smile
I turn right back to catch you crying

Our love lies bleeding
Bleeding
Our love lies bleeding
