Cover art for My Blood lyrics by Ellie Goulding

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

"She means that she's at the beach and she's wondering if its her time of the month and when she sees it on the rocks shes like yeah and then her boyfriend leaves her."

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

"This describes how she feels for the week and the Always Maxi Pad with Waves will make her feel free. When she speaks about her lifeless frame, she means that it is very painful."

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

"She know's she's not dying because it happens every month and this happened a lot with her boyfriend to the point where it ruined their relationship ('It drowns the love I thought I knew'). He decides not to stay with her any longer."

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

"She was desperately in love with him, more than anyone and she was constantly verbally abused by him when her blood was destroying their relationship."

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

"By alarms, she means this will continue until later age and it feels like an eternity until menopause but the Always Maxi Pads with waves will make her feel like herself again."

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
