Like Knives

Your words are like knives

They peel the skin and pierce my soul

Your body will learn to love

And now your heart may still let goAnd I will blame myself

And I will blame myself for holding on

To what I hope will keep you by my side

And I will blame myselfMy sheets are stained with

Memories of your soft kiss

Now this is all I have

Deeper than I can let go and I am awareAnd I will blame myself

And I will blame myself for holding on

To what I hope will keep you by my side

And I will blame myselfCan I have you? Can I have you?

Why can't I have you?
