Blood on the Ribbon letra

Don't turn on the light
Not yet
There's a crack across the mirror
There's a bruise beneath my sleeve

Glitter scattered on the floor
From something I don't want to see
One shoe by the doorway
One earring in my hand
Funny how the room looks normal
When I barely understand

They only see the light when I arrive
Nobody stays to watch me come back inside

There's blood on the ribbon
A tear in the lace
A little bit of midnight
Still painted on my face
Blood on the ribbon
Blood on the ribbon
But I made it home tonight

Maybe courage isn't pretty
Maybe that's alright
I can wash away the red
I can stitch what came undone
There's blood on the ribbon
But I'm still the one who won

I was scared for half a second
Maybe longer, if I'm fair
There was nothing graceful in it
There was no one watching there
No perfect pose, no final line
No beautiful display
Just my hands shaking badly
And refusing to give way

They only see the moment that I shine
Nobody knows how hard I hold the line

There's blood on the ribbon
A tear in the lace
A little bit of midnight
Still painted on my face
Blood on the ribbon
Blood on the ribbon
But I made it home tonight

Maybe courage isn't pretty
Maybe that's alright
I can wash away the red
I can stitch what came undone
There's blood on the ribbon
But I'm still the one who won

Tomorrow I'll tie it again
Same ribbon, same hands
Maybe they'll shake
Maybe they won't
I don't need them steady
To know where I stand
I was afraid
I did it afraid

There's blood on the ribbon
A tear in the lace
And I don't need to hide it
Like it means I lost my place
Blood on the ribbon
Blood on the ribbon
I survived another night

Maybe courage isn't pretty
But God, it feels alive
I can wash away the red
I can stitch what came undone
There's blood on the ribbon
And I'm still not done

Same ribbon, tomorrow night
I'll tie it again
