[Verse 1]
Through windows by my bed
Miles away, I rest my weary head
Next to you
No coldness in my eye
Cut the skin and take my sorry hide
Cover you
Make love with you

[Chorus]
It bleeds upon my back
Strapped with silver tacks
Wish I'd loved you more
And never shut that door

[Verse 2]
The waves that run the shore
Wash away the stones of pain we bore
I tortured you
I tried to drown my hate
Underneath an ocean, I still wait
Remembering you
Always true

[Chorus]
It bleeds upon my back
Strapped with silver tacks
Wish I'd loved you more
And never shut that door
[Bridge]
Restitution day
All I have, I give away
To be with you
If it breaks my back (It breaks my back)

[Verse 1 Reprise]
Through windows by my bed
Miles away, I rest my weary head
Next to you
Coldness in my eye
Cut the skin and take my sorry hide
Cover you
Make love with you

[Chorus]
It bleeds upon my back
Strapped with silver tacks
Wish I'd loved you more
And never shut that door

[Outro]
Restitution day
All I have, I give away
To be with you
If it breaks my back
If it breaks my back
If it breaks my back
