Like an old man walks to the end of his life And he's carrying a bag of bloody knives Pass them out and say "hold them tight" Here's a weight too sharp to hold
So I'll take true love And I'll cut it up with scissors And I'll throw it in the fireplace We can disappear together
Cut by a weight too sharp to hold With a burnt soul, healing is painful Asked to forgive when you're still angry If I can't heal my heart, forgive me
So I'll take true love And I'll cut it up with scissors And I'll throw it in the fireplace We can burn it out forever
Why is life so hard? And I'll cut it up with scissors And I'll throw it in the fireplace We can disappear together
Cut by a weight too sharp to hold So surround yourself with good people I know it's painful but we can stand And if this man can't walk, lend him a hand
With a burnt soul, healing is painful Asked to forgive when you're still angry If I can't heal my heart, forgive me
