The Blade

I let your love in, I have the scar

I felt the razor against my heart

I thought we were both in all the way

But you caught it by the handle

And I caught it by the blade

You said "goodbye, it's not the end

And if you need me, I'm still your friend"

Well, that's easy for you to say

Cause you caught it by the handle

And I caught it by the blade

That's the risk you run when you love, when you love

And you give it all you've got to give

Knowing all along there's a chance, there's a chance

You'll reach and they won't

You'll bleed and they don't

For you, it's over; for me, it's not

I kept trying and you just stopped

Now I know how you can sound so brave

Cause you caught it by the handle, baby

And I caught it by the blade

That's the risk you run when you love, when you love

And you give it all you've got to give

Knowing all along there's a chance, there's a chance

You'll reach and they won't

You'll bleed and they don't

I thought we were both in all the way

But you caught it by the handle

And I caught it by the blade

You caught it by the handle, baby

And I caught it by the blade
