My Blood Lyrics


That feeling, that doesn't go away just did
And I walked a thousand miles to prove it
And I'm caught in the crossfire of my own thoughts
The color of My Blood is all I see on the rocks
As you sail from me

Alarms will ring for eternity
The waves will break every chain on me
My bones will bleach
My flesh will flee
So help my lifeless frame to breathe

And God knows, I'm not dying but I breathe now
And God knows, it's the only way to heal now
With all the blood I lost with you
It drowns the love I thought I knew

The lost dreams are buried in my sleep for him
And this was the ecstasy of a love forgotten
And I'm thrown in the gunfire of empty bullets
And my blood is all I see
As you steal my soul from me

Alarms will ring for eternity
The waves will break every chain on me

And God knows, I'm not dying but I breathe now
And God knows, it's the only way to heal now
With all the blood I lost with you
It drowns the love I thought I knew

And God knows, I'm not dying but I breathe now
And God knows, it's the only way to heal now
With all the blood I lost with you
It drowns the love I thought I knew

And God knows, I'm not dying but I breathe now
And God knows, it's the only way to heal now
With all the blood I lost with you
It drowns the love I thought I knew

My Blood
  • Most of the tracks on Halcyon are breakup songs penned by Goulding about her former partner, BBC Radio 1 DJ Greg James. However, she wrote this gothic tune about being weakened by somebody emotionally in the midst of a relationship.
  • The song features on the soundtrack of the movie, Divergent. It is one of a quartet of Goulding tunes that are woven into the action of the film. The singer also provided the "musical voice" for lead character Tris Prior (played by Shailene Woodley). "For me, the movie is about a young woman finding herself, transforming herself and becoming powerful on a societal stage," explained director Neil Burger to Entertainment Weekly. "It's an intimate, personal portrait, but on a grand scale. Ellie's music has that very intimate quality. You are in the heart of her characters, in their souls, in their minds. When she sings her voice resonates inside you. Her music was a perfect way to do all that for Tris - to feel what she was feeling inside."
