How Deep the Blade Goes
Paul Dempsey
(v1)
Your words cut in a flash
I feel my eyes begin to close
They rip at my emotions
Leaving them all exposed
(v2)
You know exactly what hurts
Attacking my Achilles heel
Your tongue is like a razor
Honed out of cold steel
(chorus)
You’re the one that knows
How deep the blade goes
And how much blood flows
I’m too weak to speak
But I'm sure my pain shows
Just how deep the blade goes
(v3)
So many secrets uncovered
Years of innocent trust
No longer scared, betrayed
Laid open with each thrust
(bridge - spoken)
I offer up a sample cup
Overflowing with loves memories
But your goal is to destroy my soul
I’ll be one of love’s casualties
(chorus)
You’re the one that knows
How deep the blade goes
And how much blood flows
I’m too weak to speak
But I'm sure my pain shows
Just how deep the blade goes
