[Verse 1]
White sheets stained with midnight blue
Ten years old, what could I do?
Tried to hide it from my mom
Like secrets that I built upon
Ink seeps deeper, spreads so wide
Just like feelings I can't hide
[Pre-Chorus]
Paper thin walls in my mind
Breaking down with passing time
Thought I had it figured out
'Til you made me start to doubt
[Chorus]
I bleed through, I bleed through
Everything I try to keep from you
Colors run and feelings show
All the truths I didn't wanna know
I bleed through, God, I bleed through
Like ink stains on pristine white
Baby, I'm losing this fight
[Verse 2]
Grandma's lullabies still haunt my dreams
Teaching me to hold back screams
But darling, look what you've done
Made my careful walls undone
Like patterns spreading on my bed
All these words I should've said
[Bridge]
Press it down, press it out
Can't contain this anymore
Watch it spread across the floor
Of this house of cards we built
Drowning in emotional guilt
[Chorus]
I bleed through, I bleed through
Everything I try to keep from you
Colors run and feelings show
All the truths I didn't wanna know
I bleed through, God, I bleed through
Like ink stains on pristine white
Baby, I'm losing this fight
[Outro]
Let it stain, let it mark
Let these feelings leave their spark
'Cause I'm done pretending now
That I know how to hold it down
