Lyric

I said “I’m fine”

But my mouth moved slow

Your name stayed hidden

In the way I spoke

Ordinary words

With a crooked edge

Coffee on my tongue

And a fault line in it

You sit so near

I act so clean

But every small thing

Keeps crossing me

[Pre-Chorus]

It slips out low

In the middle of a laugh

I turn away

But it comes right back

A little crack

In the middle of me

What I bury deep

Still speaks for me

[Chorus]

Bleedthrough, bleedthrough

In everything I say

Bleedthrough, bleedthrough

You find your way

I keep it small

I keep it neat

But the truth runs thin

Underneath

Bleedthrough, bleedthrough

I can’t undo

Bleedthrough, bleedthrough

It’s me and you

[Verse 2]

I said “goodnight”

Like I meant goodbye

But my hands stayed warm

With the afterglow

You asked one thing

And I froze there soft

Like the real answer

Had already crossed me off

Every polite little line

Has your shadow in it

Every calm little tone

Has a tremble in it

I wear plain words

Like a borrowed shirt

But the seam gives way

Where it hurts

[Pre-Chorus]

It slips out low

In the middle of a laugh

I turn away

But it comes right back

A little crack

In the middle of me

What I bury deep

Still speaks for me

[Chorus]

Bleedthrough, bleedthrough

In everything I say

Bleedthrough, bleedthrough

You find your way

I keep it small

I keep it neat

But the truth runs thin

Underneath

Bleedthrough, bleedthrough

I can’t undo

Bleedthrough, bleedthrough

It’s me and you

[Bridge]

If I go quiet

You’ll hear it there

In the pause between

What I send and what I share

I tried to lock it

Behind my teeth

But even silence

Leaks out of me

[Chorus]

Bleedthrough, bleedthrough

In everything I say

Bleedthrough, bleedthrough

You find your way

I keep it small

I keep it neat

But the truth runs thin

Underneath

Bleedthrough, bleedthrough

I can’t undo

Bleedthrough, bleedthrough

It’s me and you
