A song from Gaslight Anthem’s 2012 album Handwritten.
The song is about his fear of opening up – he wants his girl to see him as perfect; if she see he bleeds like normal people, she might not like him. This is all going on in his head as he writes a letter.
[Verse 1]
Are you scared this sounds familiar, what if everybody knew
The very trials and temptations that we put ourselves through?
Now I am no angel, but I got nothing to hide
Can you say the same thing for yourself tonight?
[Pre-Chorus]
What can I keep for myself if I tell you my hell?
What would be left to take to my grave?
And what's left for you, my lover to save?
What's left for only you to take?
[Chorus]
If I put too much blood on the page
If I put too much blood on the page
And if I just tell the truth, are there only lies left for you
If I put too much love on the page?
[Verse 2]
Now as my eternal witness to the pride and the shame
Are you worried I say too much, are you scared they'll take me away?
Now I am no devil, but I've got things on my mind
And they're gonna come out and they're gonna come up time to time
[Pre-Chorus]
What can I keep for myself if I tell you my hell?
What would be left to take to my grave?
And what's left for you, my lover to save?
What's left for only you to take?
[Chorus]
If I put too much blood on the page
If I put too much blood on the page
And if I just tell the truth, are there only lies left for you
If I put too much love on the page?
[Pre-Chorus]
What can I keep for myself if I tell you my hell?
What would be left to take to my grave?
And what's left for you, my lover to save?
What's left for only you to take?
[Chorus]
If I put too much blood on the page
If I put too much blood on the page
And if I just tell the truth, are there only lies left for you
If I put too much blood on the page?
[Refrain]
If I put too much blood on the page
If I put too much blood on the page again
