Dagger Through the Heart

(Dolly Parton)



Oh, you're out there tonight with another

And my pain is so dreadfully sharp

I picture you with her and shudder

It's like a dagger through the heart.



Do you think that my feelings don't matter

Or your cheatin' or hurtful remarks

When you leave me all broken and shattered

It's like a dagger through the heart.



Oh, I know I'm a fool to keep stayin'

When you've made hurtin' me such an art

Tossed around like a used box of crayons

It's like a dagger through the heart.



Oh, you cut me to pieces so often

Like a knife or a poisonous dart

I would be better off in my coffin

It's like a dagger through the heart.



Oh, I know I'm a fool to keep stayin'

When you've made hurtin' me such an art

Tossed around like a used box of crayons

It's like a dagger through the heart.



Like a dagger through the heart, through the heart...
