In this poignant ballad, Conan Gray explores the tumultuous dynamics of a toxic relationship characterized by emotional manipulation and dependency. The lyrics depict a cycle of abandonment and return, where the protagonist's partner repeatedly leaves and comes back, inflicting deep emotional wounds each time. The metaphor of "the cut that always bleeds" vividly illustrates the perpetual pain and unresolved trauma caused by these actions. Despite recognizing the harm, the protagonist confesses an overwhelming need for their partner, akin to a vital lifeline. This internal conflict between self-preservation and desperate attachment underscores the tragic complexity of love marred by inconsistency and betrayal.
The Cut That Always Bleeds
Lyrics
I don't love you anymore
A pretty line that I adore
Five words that I've heard before
'Cause you keep me on a rope
And tied a noose around my throat
You're gone, then back at my door
'Cause if you're gonna leave
Better leave, better do it fast
Can't live a little longer
Sitting on your lap
'Cause you know what you're doing
When you're coming back
And I don't want to have
Another heart attack
Oh, I can't be
Your lover on a leash
Every other week
When you please
Oh, I can't be
The kiss that you don't need
The lie between your teeth
The cut that always bleeds
The cut that always bleeds
Say you love somebody new
And beat my heart, to black and blue
Then they leave, and it's me
You come back to
To say you loved me all along
And kissed the bruises 'til they're gone
Bittersweet, 'cause I can't breathe
Inside your arms
'Cause if you're gonna leave
Better leave, better do it fast
Can't live another minute
Bleeding from my back
'Cause I don't have another one
For you to stab
And I don't want to have
Another heart attack
Oh I can't be
Your lover on a leash
Every other week
When you please
Oh, I can't be
The kiss that you don't need
The lie between your teeth
The cut that always bleeds
The cut that always bleeds
But even though you're killing me
I, I need you like the air I breathe
I need, I need you more than me
I need you more than anything
Please, please
'Cause I could be
Your lover on a leash
Every other week
When you please
Oh, I could be
Anything you need
As long as you don't leave
The cut that always
