The Knife

One night you cut into my head

With a cold, bright fear that struck me dead

And your body lay heavy in our bed

With those bloodstained tears on your chest

Our love is never what it was

Never bold enough to carry us

In the beginning, I wanted you so much

Fire, then dark, then dust

So, love, did you save her?

Was she everything you bet upon your life?

So, love, did you need her?

Was it all because you fell against the knife?

And, love, can you hold her?

Do you see her in the shadow of the night?

So, love, have you lost her?

Does it tear you up inside?

One day I'll sleep and never wake

And the air will take the color from my face

This is how I'll pay for my mistakes

All things wither and break

So, love, did you save her?

Was she everything you bet upon your life?

So, love, did you need her?

Was it all because you fell against the knife?

And, love, can you hold her?

Do you see her in the shadow of the night?

So, love, have you lost her?

Does it tear you up inside?

And who will hold your hand tonight?

And who will hold your hand tonight?

Did you work so hard to keep her?

Did you try so hard, despite?

Was it her cold heart that freed her

From your hold so tight?

So, love, did you save her?

Was she everything you bet upon your life?

So, love, did you need her?

Was it all because you fell against the knife?

And, love, can you hold her?

Do you see her in the shadow of the night?

So, love, have you lost her?

Does it tear you up inside?

Does it tear you up inside?
