Twist The Knife
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.
Tenderly
Tenderly
Please take my breath from me
Into the fountain
And up from the graves
Tearfully
Joyfully
Burn what is left of me
I don't want these burdens
I've handsomely gained (??)
You'll be my guest
And i'll let you stay
Leave me the check
I'll pay with the rest of my life
Twist the knife
Carefully
Quietly
You took what's young from me
I didn't deserve it
I gave it away
Cowardly
Thoughtlessly
You walk away from me
And i'll tear my heart out to save you ???
You'll be my guest
And i'll let you stay
Leave me the check
I'll pay with the rest of my life
Twist the knife
Tenderly
Tenderly
Please take my breath from me
Into the fountain
And up from the graves
