Like Knives
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.
Your words are like knives
They peel my skin and pierce my soul...
Your body will burn tonight...
Though your heart may still remain cold
And I will blame myself
And I will blame myself
For holding on to what I hoped would keep you by my side
I will blame myself
The Sheets are stained with...
Memories of your soft kiss
Now this is all I have
Paper and pen to remember you with
And I will blame myself
And I will blame myself
For holding on to what I hoped would keep you by my side
I will blame myself
Can I have you... [x4]
