Stop Your Bleeding

well I don't have a symphony
but I'll lick your heart with my fingers
you get caught in the details 
you get caught in the big picture
I am sleeping on your doorstep 
I am waiting with you smiling overhead

well I tried to paint you yellow
with some leaves down in the park 
with some songs your mother sang
when the love was unconditional
and maybe that's the problem
that I can't promise anything

a girl in a window in soho
I'm a beggar underneath that you won't know
a princess in a window in soho
but the prince comes to the window and it's closed

a halo in a window in soho
when the sinner came knocking you sent him home
I used to think all it would take was some time 
but now I know you're a waste of my time

stop your bleeding now
you said no leaving

I can break you apart with my hands
I can build you back into something else
make your face into a cake, honey yes I can

a girl in a window in soho
I'm a beggar underneath that you won't know
a princess in a window in soho
but the prince comes to the window and it's closed
a halo in a window in soho
when the sinner came knocking you sent him home
I used to think all it would take was some time 
but now I know you're a waste of my time

stop your bleeding now
you said no leaving
