Still Bleeding But Not Dead Yet

I wanted to do something i haven't done before, with some singing and a "nivana-athmosphere" but without resulting in a "nirvana-knockoff". I just wanted to express myself and the genre fit the best.

Vocals:

yes, i'm still bleeding but not dead yet
the pain doesn't hurt, i'm okay
why do you even care it's not the first time
the last time i showed you you looked away

my head's a bit dizzy but not dead yet
don't mind the blood dripping on the floor
i'll clean it up as soon as i'm finished
i need a bit more time, it will be fine

so leave me alone now
i can handle my own blood
i don't need you to tell me
how to fix me up

so please go away now
i will do it my way
i don't need you to tell me
how to fix me up

yes, i'm still bleeding but not dead yet
i already tried to make it stop
but sometimes the wound sits a bit deeper
and can't be healed in a little while

i'm grateful for your time and effort, thank you
but i think you don't know what i need
i tried to explain the problem to you
you only seem to listen to yourself

so leave me alone now
i can handle my own blood
i don't need you to tell me
how to fix me up

so please go away now
i will do it my way
i don't need you to tell me
how to fix me up

yes, i'm still bleeding but not dead yet
don't mind the blood dripping on the floor
but sometimes the wound sits a bit deeper
you only seem to listen to yourself
