Lyrics
Insert the song lyrics below
I thought that I've been hurt before

But no one's ever left me quite this sore
Your words cut deeper than a knife

Now I need someone to breathe me back to life
Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
I'm shaking falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
I'm tripping over myself
I'm aching begging you to come help
Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Oh you lured me in I couldn't sense the pain
Your bitter heart cold to the touch
Now I'm gonna reap what I sew
I'm left seeing red on my own
Move on
I'm shaking falling onto my knees
I'm aching begging you to come help
Needle and the thread
Gotta get you out of my head
Gonna wind up dead

Gonna wind up dead
Gonna wind up dead
Gotta get you out of my head get you out of my head
I'm shaking falling onto my knees (falling on my knees)
I'll be needing stitches (and I'll be needing stitches)
I'm aching begging you to come help (begging baby please)
Meaning of the song
Does the song have a meaning? If so, what is it?
It refers to the break up. How broken he is after they break. How he will not be able to function
properly. He will not be able to stop thinking of her, and he will just miss everything about her so that
he will not be happy enough to live a happy life. When he says "I'll be numb without you kisses, I'll be
needing stitches" he means that the only way for him to be happy again is for her to take him back. He
will continue to suffer unless she takes him back because she is his happiness, and now that she is
gone, he cannot function because he is just so unhappy, she is all he can think about. And without
her, he just does not know what to do, therefore he will just suffer, unless she takes him back, and he
has her in his arms. He is saying that when she is his, he will then be able to be happy again.
How will your visuals relate to the song? (Illustrate, Amplify or Disjuncture)
I will portray it to be quite sad and very relatable to the song, the start will start off alone
walking alone and he will build up his anger and sadness and it will have a flashback to
when he was happy with her. My version of the song will relate back to a lot of what hes
saying.
