I never wrote you any love songs Except the one I'm singin' now And you know I'd sing it to your face If you were standin' in the crowd You peel back my skin Reveal the mess of doubt Yeah, I thought that I knew myself But then I found out Your love cuts like a knife Your love cuts like a knife You never told me your secrets Yeah, but I guess that's alright Yeah, I guess I understand 'Cause when you tried to open up to me You know I went home and cut myself And though I used the big knife Oh, it wasn't as sharp No, it wasn't as deep As you cut into my heart Your love cuts like a knife Your love cuts like a knife Your love cuts like Your love cuts like a knife Your love cuts Yeah, you cut right through me Yeah, you split me in two If I couldn't live with myself How could I live with you? So if someday you forgive me And open up the door You know that we could be happy Because I'm finally all the things you wanted When you thought I was what you wanted
