I was born surrounded by fear
I've lost everything
I'm a walking routine
I won't win
I was born with venom in veins
A kind of lethal injection
I've been told a hundred times
Love won't last
Bleed it out
I was born surrounded by hate
Lost hope and despair
I was fighting my fate
Trapped in hands
I was born with poison in head
A dark vision a sorrow
I've been told a hundred times
Love won't last
Broken heartbeats
Beating
I needed you to be the light
At the darkest of night
I'm walking along the dark path
No love can save me
Bleed it out
Escape before falling
Bleed it out
Broken heartbeats
Beating
