BEN HARPER LYRICS - Please Bleed

"Please Bleed"



Make me feel like a beggar

Make me feel like a thief

Make me feel like a battle, that cannot end in peace

Make me feel like running, as if I've lost my nerve

Make me feel like crying, tears I don't deserve



Please bleed

So I know that you are real

So I know that you can feel

The damage that you've done

Who have I become

To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb



Is this really living? Sometimes it's hard to tell

Or is this just a kind of gentler hell?

Turn out the lights

And let me stare into your soul

I was born and bled for you to hold



Please bleed

So I know that you are real

So I know that you can feel

The damage that you've done

Who have I become

To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb



Never said thank you

Never said please

Never gave reason to believe

So as it stands

I remain on my knees

Good lovers make great enemies



Please bleed

So I know that you are real

So I know that you can feel

The damage that you've done

Who have I become

To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb
