Love lies bleeding Framed by the kitchen door Staring at the ceiling Tries to get up off the floor But she can't quite make it And she doesn't know how to pray Her darkest things How they show her age They hide in the wings But now they're centestage And she can't quite fake it But there'll be other days No bed of saffron No veil of tears The white horses of desire She burns out She rises Like a phoenix from the fire Your smile gives you away Love lies bleeding You'd swear she couldn't bleed no more But her heart's still beating What else is there to live for She can't quite break it And she doesn't know how to pray Your smile gives you away
