Cut You Out

Cut You Out

Another black and sleepless night

Picturing you two together.

No good will come of fight or flight,

So I’ll try one desperate measure.

 

You don’t see the blood and the scars,

It’s only my mind this blade mars.

I’ll stop with the lies.

Look into my eyes,

See what isn’t there.

 

I’ve cut you out, burned you up,

Bled you out of my heart tonight.

It pains my flesh, scars my mind,

But inside I know that it’s right.

 

The worst of all my secrecy,

An unrequited love, I knew;

Ridiculed if you could see

That my heart went out to you.

 

That’s all the love I thought I knew.

I know this night he spends with you.

I lie within this inky gloom

And resolve to start anew.

I’ve stopped with the lies.

Look into my eyes,

See what isn’t there.

 

I’ve cut you out, burned you up,

Bled you out of my heart tonight.

It pains my flesh, scars my mind,

But inside I know that it’s right.

 

I’ve run you through, torn you up,

Ripped you out of my soul tonight.

It cuts my flesh, scalds my mind,

But I know that I’ll be all right,

Because inside I know it’s right.

One day you’ll spend a sleepless night

Alone.
