In My Blood

In My Blood

You're in my blood.

I need a transfusion 

From this delusion

Of the fantasy

That shakes and rocks me

And gives me the chills

I need a pill

To cope with my lost hope

Of not having you near

I Can't see

I'm blinded by tears

As they hit the ground

Dizzy, confused 

Lost the love I found

Screaming quietly 

When no sound

You're in my blood

Rent free in my head

I'm cold and lonely

While I lay in the bed

And toss and turn 

My heart yearns 

It's on fire

And It burns

You're in my blood 

And you won't let go

I say yes 

You say no

Chained to your love

If you must know

You're in my blood 

Happy and free

You keep me hanging on

Hoping and wishing 

When the reality of it all

You're in my blood 

But you no longer want me
