Lyrics
[Chorus] If you see me bleeding, leave me alone Don't want you in my world throwing stones This glass house isn't yours to call home So we're done... game's over Love Murder One

[Verse 1] Have we come to an understanding Let's agree to disagree Circumventing resolutions And all they seem to lack, yet keep us coming back Oh, when I drink from your cauldron I see through your witching eyes The more it reveals that we're broken In a love not meant to last, it only lives to die

[Chorus] If you see me bleeding, leavе me alone Don't want you in my world throwing stones This glass housе isn't yours to call home So we're done... game's over Love Murder One

[Verse 2] I'll confess what your heart is feeling In a Hallmark card of your fears Tonight, you'll make a toast Oh, to better days when all had seem so right

I'll confess what your heart is feeling Screaming "Honey, don't let me go" I know you're up to something I know you want to stay but I'm already gone

[Chorus] If you see me bleeding, leave me alone Don't want you in my world throwing stones This glass house isn't yours to call home So we're done... game's over Love Murder One

If you see me, believe me, it's killing me slow Don't care to live in this world anymore Lights out, how do you call this fun? Oh, we're done, game over... Love Murder One

[Bridge] I don't know how to tell you we're done I don't know how to tell you it's over But things have got to change You must believe it Oh, are you blind, do you, do you not see it?

[Chorus] If you see me bleeding, leave me alone Don't want you in my world throwing stones This glass house isn't yours to call home Oh, we're done... the game's over Love Murder One

If you see me, believe me, it's killing me slow Don't wanna live in this world anymore Lights out, how do you call this fun? Oh, we're done, game over... Love Murder One

Game's over... Love Murder One

Background
Sanchez and his wife have been together a total of 20 years (though, not married for the entirety of that time). Despite having a strong foundation he has, at times, struggled with emotions raised when they’ve had disagreements (this was especially apparent during quarantine when they were more or less confined together). This song provided him an opportunity to explore those feelings and “leave [them] in the song”.

Trivia

 * Sanchez plays an 8-string guitar on this track.
 * Stever admitted to channeling Steve Lukather on "Beat It" for this track.
