Step One
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.
Friend: A name I'll call you
In the daytime out in the open
Friend, you know what I really mean
You know exactly what I could be
All this time won't hold us in line
I'm still afraid you'll cut through me
My sick heart, all these pieces and parts
Only you can break, you know the way
Friend, it's hard for me to breathe
I'm powerless against you
Friend, it scares me when I think
"The secret place worth sharing?"
All this time won't hold us in line
I'm still afraid you'll cut through me
My sick heart, all these pieces and parts
Only you can break, you know the way
All this time won't hold us in line
I'm still afraid you'll cut through me
My sick heart, all these pieces and parts
Only you can break, you know the way
Oh, it isn't fair
I held back everything
Don't say it never could have been
All this time won't hold us in line
I'm still afraid you'll cut through me
My sick heart, all these pieces and parts
Only you can break, you know the way
All this time won't hold us in line
I'm still afraid you'll cut through me
My sick heart, all these pieces and parts
Only you can break, you know the way
Only you can break, you know the way
