Like Knives

City and Colour · Live [2007]

Your words are like knives

They peel my skin and pierce my soul

Your body will burn tonight, though your heart may still remain cold



And I will blame myself

I will blame myself for holding onto what I hoped would keep you by my side

I will blame myself



The sheets are stained with memories of your soft kiss

Now this is all I have,

Paper and pen to remember you with



And I will blame myself

I will blame myself for holding on to what I hoped would keep you by my side

I will blame myself



Can I have you?

Can I have you?

Can I have you?

Can I have you?
