unknown

You're my methadone
My nutra sweet
My false sense of satisfaction

You're my gucci bag
Bought on the street
My own cheap imitation

And i know that i'm just using you
For my own contentment
And i know that i'm just leading you on
What's wrong with that?

You're my silicone
My plexiglass
My close approximation

You're my iron lung
My jarvik heart
It's no big revelation

And i know that i'm just using you
For my own contentment
And i know that i'm just leading you on
What's wrong with that?

And i know
That i should let you go
I shouldn't do to you
What's been done to me
But if i can't
Have what i want
At least i know
I can take what i need

And i know that i'm just using you
For my own contentment
And i know that i'm just leading you on
What's wrong with that?

And i know that i'm just using you
I'm just doing what you would do
If i ever gave you the chance to
What's wrong with that?

Every morning i wake up next to you
But this is the first time
I've opened my eyes
And now i realize ...

There's only inches between us
But somehow you're miles away
I can't believe i'm missing you
When you're right in front of my face

It's gonna take a miracle
A miracle ....

A resurrection
A resurrection
Of our love
It's gonna take a miracle
To raise the dead
A resurrection
A resurrection
Of our love

Every morning you turn away from me
And i don't know why
You don't look in my face
Before you walk away

You used to make me laugh
I wish it could be like that again
But tell me, where do we begin
When we're already at the end?

It's gonna take a miracle
A miracle ....

A resurrection
A resurrection
Of our love
It's gonna take a miracle
To raise the dead
A resurrection
A resurrection
Of our love

I don't want to let it die
I don't want to let it get away
There's something worth saving
So i'm gonna pray

For a miracle
A miracle ...

A resurrection
Of our love
It's gonna take a miracle
To raise the dead
A resurrection

It's gonna take a miracle
A resurrection
Of our love

Everybody envied me as i
Walked down the aisle
Picture perfect wedded bliss
A pair of matching smiles

I never knew what kind of man he was
It took me by surprise
The day he grabbed me by the hair
And glared at me with reaper's eyes

Now the night is bleeding
The law protects a man who beats his wife
The night is bleeding
The law ignores a woman pleading for her life

Your paper handcuffs couldn't stop him
They never even slowed him down
I had to worry he'd be standing there
Every time i turned around

You believed him when he said i deserved it
You believed him when he spun his lies
You even nodded when he said he was so sorry
Your callus ears ignored my cries

Now the night is bleeding
The law protects a man who beats his wife
The night is bleeding
The law ignores a woman pleading for her life

Treat the symptom, ignore the disease
There's no such thing as an idle threat
We all know, we all know
Where it leads

Where were you when he said he was coming
Where were you when i said i was scared
Where were you when he kicked down the door
And where were you when he threw me down the stairs

Where were you
Where were you
The night is bleeding

You say you're here to serve and protect
But you ignore and reject my cries for help
The night is bleeding
The night is bleeding
