I bleed.
See the little red drops?
My heart hurts
Because you're in pain
And I can do little to help.

She's jealous of me, you say.
I wonder at this "friend" of mine.
I love her with all my heart
Yet if she causes you to hurt...
Why should she be anything to me?

Neither of you realize
Your tortorous words
Although directed at each other
Cut at my heart
Make me guilty for my happiness

I'm sorry she's unhappy
But what she does to you
Is unacceptable
And a transgression against me.

Friend, dear friend
Why must you be the cause of my breaking heart?
My bleeding, desperate soul?
Tell, tell me
How might I help

Oh, dear God, dear God,
make it stop
make it stop
MAKE IT STOP!

But first tell me why...
