Lyrics Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne

Cut It Away

Cut it away, somebody cut away this desperate heart

Cut it away and help me find my way back to the start

Yeah, before I knew what I was looking for

Yeah, when we were lovers and nothing more

I wanted you and I did everything that I could do

To capture you I let you see the part of me

You?d want to see a fantasy

I?m finding now I don?t know how

To make it good I wish I could

Cut it away this crazy longing for something more

Cut it away the question I don?t have an answer for

Why I hunger for something I can?t see

Cut it away the dream I wanted life to be

I know I've got to let you go

I know you should have left a long time ago

Protected by the night two cities lay

Two hearts, two lives connected by our sight

World's away, two hearts, two lives inspected by the light

Two hearts, two cities in decay

Two lives repair them as we might

Two hearts just go on crumbling, now come on

Cut it away I want to cut away this thing inside

Cut it away this thing that hid from you and schemed and lied

I know I've got to let you go

I know you should have left a long time ago

Cut it away, somebody cut away this desperate heart

Cut it away before it tears my whole life apart

I love you, I love you still, I do

I always will
