"Tourniquet" lyrics

Wash the blood away
Dress the flesh and tie the knot
Just hold it all on the inside
Couldn't set you free
Reminds me of what I'm not
Just hold it all on the inside

Used you to hide from the pain
Hoping that something would change
Pulled till the edges were frayed

It's killing me from the inside
I'm doing all I can
But I don't know how much more I've got left
It's obvious on the outside
The stitches lost their grip
And you're not here to keep the monsters in
Tourniquet

I'm sorry
I know you only ever wanted me to breath
I held you closer till the feeling went away
You wiped out every stain
Cleaned up the messes I made
I'll carry all of the shame

It's killing me from the inside
I'm doing all I can
But I don't know how much more I've got left
It's obvious on the outside
The stitches lost their grip
And you're not here to keep the monsters in

It's killing me from the inside
I'm doing all I can
But I don't know how much more I've got left
It's obvious on the outside
The stitches lost their grip
And you're not here to keep the monsters in
Tourniquet

No I don't know how much more I've got left

It's obvious on the outside
The stitches lost their grip
When you're not here the monsters always win
