Neko Case - Twist the Knife lyrics
[Neko Case - Twist the Knife lyrics]
Please take my breath from me
Into the fountain and up from the graves
Tearfully, joyfully burn what is left of me
I don't want these burdens
That handsomely weigh
You'll be my guest and I'll let you stay
Leave me the check
I'll pay with the rest of my life
Twist the knife carefully, quietly
You took what's young from me
Didn't deserve it i gave it away
Cowardly, thoughtlessly
You walk away from me
And I'll tear my heart out
To save you the day
You'll be my guest and I'll let you stay
Leave me the check
I'll pay with the rest of my life
Twist the knife
Tenderly, tenderly
Please take my breath from me
Into the fountain
And up from the graves
