With blood to shed it's a lonely view

The story:

My mom and I were arguing over this for days, with me supporting the misheard lyric and she arguing the correct ones. I could have sworn that "blood to shed" was it, after all the song is "Scar Tissue" and blood seemed to have worked perfectly with the idea. Plus, if I was alone and bleeding, it would be a really lonely view. In the end Mother knew best and I had to eat crow.
