Lyrics

The Blade

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I let your love in, I have the scar

I felt the razor against my heart

I thought we were both in all the way

But you caught it by the handle

And I caught it by the blade

You said: Goodbye, it's not the end

And if you need me, I'm still your friend

Well, that's easy for you to say

Cause you caught it by the handle

And I caught it by the blade

That's the risk you run when you love, when you love

And you give it all you've got to give

Knowing all along there's a chance, there's a chance

You'll reach and they won't

You'll bleed and they don't

For you, it's over; for me, it's not

I kept trying and you just stopped

Now I know how you can sound so brave

Cause you caught it by the handle, baby

And I caught it by the blade

That's the risk you run when you love, when you love

And you give it all you've got to give

Knowing all along there's a chance, there's a chance

You'll reach and they won't

You'll bleed and they don't

I thought we were both in all the way

But you caught it by the handle

And I caught it by the blade

You caught it by the handle, baby

And I caught it by the blade
